Not a wife, but a "special needs mom". I quit my job because I was earning less and had less earning potential, but in my waiting room travels I met a family where the mom was a famous lawyer and her partner was (I think) an "underperforming" step parent. [b]The nanny was an older woman who had an adult special needs son who was mostly stable in a group living situation with a job and supports. Obviously the mom still had to be there for some initial appointments/evals and things, but the nanny understood enough about what was going on that she was effective advocate for the child and liaison between the providers and the mother. I was super impressed with her...she really seemed to give it her all emotionally but also had good boundaries (like she joined in the waiting room talk but never bad mouthed her employer or the step parent).

This is extremely rare. The famous lawyer must have had contacts that landed her a nanny like this.
