I’ve dealt with some serious trauma inducing events in early life and still haven’t 100% recovered from them. It’s affected my trust with even family and I haven’t gained the courage to let anyone babysit the kids. I want to date my wife every now and then, but I haven’t been able to because of this. Any words of courage would help. Thanks dads!
Edit: before it gets too far, I’m already getting help as far as the trauma. Thanks for that advice!
We called a babysitting agency to find the person. It's meant for people who are traveling, so it's expensive, but it let us try a few people who had childcare experience, certifications, and background checks. We also stayed home on the first visits so we could get a sense of them with the kids. Once we found the person we liked we just started paying them directly.

I think it was $30 per hour vs. the $20 per hour we pay her now.
