It's really hard enough being a professor, especially one in the early stages of a career, and be a spouse and/or a parent. My advisor and her husband had a nanny, because between her professorship and his job they both needed someone who could play the part of a 1950s wife for them (i.e., dealt with the kids during the day, made dinner, cleaned the house, etc.). So they outsourced it.
