After I gave birth I have to go back to my immediately because of the need so I have to hire two hosehold for my two little babies.

If you need to go back and work again, hiring nanny is fine for as long as there is someone in your house who can also look after your little ones. I used to hire 2 nannies for my girls. After about 6 months, I discovered that one of the nanny was hitting and pinching my eldest. I asked my daughter about this and she told me that its not the first time the nanny hits her. I fired my nanny right away and made the decision to care for my girls by myself.

Right now if it is possible not to hire nannies, i won't hire one but i am the breadwinner of the family so i have to work for a living to take care of our day to day expenses. In fareness during weekends if i have no work i see to it that i am a hands on mom all the way.

It won't be necessary if you don't need to, if there's one of you will stay at home, i don't think so. About the qualification, better yet get at least someone in relation with you, it is more safe that to those you don't know very well.

It is good if you have someone related to you who you trust on taking care of your babies unfortunately i have no one, so i haveto hire household but if i am at home i make sure i do take care of my babies.
