You have bigger issues OP.

In general, the more love in a child's live - the better.  That is my stance (as a mother who has had two different nannies full-time for our kids, and several interim/fill-in nannies for vacations etc...)

There is no love that replaces a mother's love.  None.  No matter how good or bad the mother, no matter how present or absent the mother, no matter what.  Nothing is the same as the love of one's mother.

But there is no such thing as being loved by too many people in a young child's life.  Being loved by primary caregivers builds a sense of security, safety and worth.

You will have this same challenge w/ any nanny you hire, and possibly with any grandparent, family member, long-term babysitter, etc...  I don't usually jump to this kind of thing but I think you and your wife would benefit from an outside professional opinion/guidance - in the form of some type of therapy. Your wife might benefit from some individual work on anxiety or insecurity, but the two of you sound like you need some help as a team.

Good luck.[/quote]
