I have not worked full-time from home, but have worked from home on occasion, with a home-schooled boy. He was between 8 - 10 years old. Sometimes his mother was present, occasionally I was teaching him school and working. I can't imagine working full time with a young child. Well, I can, but it's not pretty: power naps and no real sleep. What you could is hire a child-care provider. She comes to your house, so you can oversee what is going on, peek in on the kid and so forth. I am not real hip on child-care centers: you get other people raising your children, these people are not always ideal, or even nice, and so forth. The ideal is having a parent at home doing the child-rearing. Perhaps your partner can be the stay-at-home until the child is school age. This might be inconvenient, for the guy. But consider that your child is the single most important thing you will ever do.
