Sahm: do you have childcare?

Je

I have our March toddler and a 9 month old. The 9 month old needs constant attention most of the time or he completely loses his youknowwhat. He has always been like this and it's really taking a toll on my mental and physical health as well as on my relationship with him.

While we have toyed with the idea of some type of childcare help before, we never pulled the trigger. I'm finally ready to ask my husband for us to figure something out.

So my question is: what should I specifically ask for? I don't even know. March toddler will be starting half day preschool twice a week in October and that preschool had a minimum starting age of 22 months. Most likely we'd get some kind of in home help, but what? Only during the morning? The afternoon? How many days a week? I'd love to hear any experience or advice.

Thanks!
