They are about to begin the process of finding and hiring the nanny. 

The conversation started with "We just put $150K into renovating the carriage house, what can we deduct?"

I am trying to guide them into the best program they can do for themselves and their nanny, I definitely have reading to do.  

The closest I have found is someone let their employee "Homeless Joe" live in the apartment on top of the auto garage and he was available to take out the tow truck to get wrecks in the middle of the night.  They said they never thought it was handled right, never got straight answers because it was shady with too much cash and disengaged with the final straw being the client was always cleaning guns when they came over for quarterlies and the staff did not want to go.

I am looking for a story or example with a happier ending.
