[quote=Anonymous]Since it sounds like she wants to be at home (just in another part of the house), you could try hiring a 'mother's helper'? This is usually a 11/12 year old who loves kids and is interested in babysitting but obviously can't be left alone with a baby yet - obviously you pay them less. The downsides are this obviously isn't an option in the morning (which may be when she'd like time off), and depending on the person you risk them not being as great as you'd wish at keeping him occupied in another part of the house and not needing to come to your wife for help multiple times. I do think you can find this though...I did this as a 12 year old and it was great.

Other options (I have no idea where you live / if these are really options / what they'd cost): I have seen some posts where nanny shares have openings on certain days - maybe you could negotiate something there? Similarly, she could try to find another stay at home mom who wants to make a little extra money and would watch her (probably at her house though...) one morning a week or something. I knew a SAHM who did unofficial "drop in" care at her house and she charged less than an independent babysitter would've cost. [/quote]
