House cleaning every other week.

Dry cleaning used to be pick up at home twice a week but they screwed up enough stuff, we drop at a different place. Still have them do shirts because who has time to iron. Bought extra clothes so drop off and pick up timing not a big deal

Lawn service

Peapod for Groceries

Soap.com for HBA

Amazon for everything else

Our son was born in the fall so my wife made it her mission to not run errands in the winter with an infant. She figured it out and has maintained it. We run errands no more than once a month now in order to make sure home time is family time.

Right now we do nanny 3 days a week. Going to start cleaning lady and yard guy

👋🏻 Cleaning 1x/wk. Dry cleaning picks up from us. Food is mostly via a delivery service. Condo so no lawn work

Grocery delivery via Instacart or Amazon prime now
Cleaning lady every other week
Babysitting every other weekend

Cleaning, dogwalking, nanny, laundry, babysitter, groceries delivered

Nanny and house cleaning.. Definitely worth it with both of us working

Hi all, I'm looking at immigration in the next few years (American engaged to a Canadian).

How would I find someone like this/ any recommendations?

We are expecting a second child in about 15 days and my first one is 2.5 yrs old. My wife took a break after our first child and we never had a nanny. Our entire family lives outside of US.
