re: How to tell the wife I want an at-home babysitter

I work from home as well and my wife does not. We have two nannies that split shifts and both of them are female. One is a grandmother from Spain and the other is about my age from Cuba. Make the criteria solely about how well they handle the kids and there is literally nothing else to it. Just man up and have the conversation. My wife is the one that chose the ones we have and there have been no issues with trust.

It's also most certainly not cheaper than daycare.
