hire /free of
Hello everyone,
I am wondering whether the hire has two objects.
Would you take a look at a sentence below and share your opinion?
---> His parents were amazed and then hired him a piano teacher.
And for another thing, in the usage of 'be free of' and 'be free from', what differences are there between them?
How should I know when I use 'free of' and when 'free from'?
Any method to figure out it?
The sentence below is the one that made me question about it.
----> At first he wanted to be free of what he thought would be a “monster baby."
Thanks a lot ~ ^^

This is OK. There is a direct object (piano teacher) and an indirect object (him). You could also write this sentence as . . . hired a piano teacher for him.
