Is It Selfish to Hire a Nanny for Self-Care as a SAHM?

Lately, I’ve been wrestling with a question that tugs at my heart: Is it selfish to hire a nanny to look after my toddler while I pursue my own hobbies as a stay-at-home mom? Sometimes, I feel guilty for wanting time to paint, read, or even just sip coffee in peace. But I also know that nurturing my own passions helps me show up as a more patient and joyful mom. Finding this balance isn’t easy, and I’m still learning to give myself permission to recharge. Have you ever felt this way? How do you make space for yourself as a parent?
