I tried hiring a nanny to help out with the kids but she ended up being almost useless as all she did was talk to the kids and nothing else. The second time I hired her she actually made some food and helped a bit with teaching the kids, but as soon as she was off the clock she was just taking up space and eating our food. Ok, so I did end up locking her into the house (and forgetting to unlock the door) since I had to keep the front door locked to prevent the kids from wondering around outside and that's why she took up residence on my couch. But yeah, I decided the nanny was too much of a hassle.
