Nanny up to 18 months and day care after that IMO. Builds resistance (a little bit) by then and learns to socialize. A little bit easy on the wallet and more reliable as well.

Second daycare for the socializing aspect. Good to get them used to being around other kids. They will get sick a lot at first which really sucks, but it’s inevitable at some point

Our nanny is amazing, our kid socialize with friends in the neighborhood and goes to the park every day(summer) nanny also cleans and does laundry. Huge plus IMO

We did daycare. Kids got sick. A lot. Now they never get sick so maybe they were innoculated?

We did nanny for 12 months and then daycare. Kid 2, nanny for 4 months then daycare. It worked well. Always sick for first year of daycare though for both kids. That sucked, but now not sick often

Nanny. the economic s work out and is better for the kids. plus, depending on your nanny it can lay the basis for learning a second (or third) language

How much does a nanny cost? (Non resident)

$20 an hour * 45 to 50 hours a week. Why does 4K shock you so much?

Nanny if you can swing it financially.

Hi All,

My H1B is set to expire in Aug 2022, my employer is filing my extension, assuming I will get it till aug 2025 and I need to go to stamping.Parent is sick, needs to undergo a surgery. I want to go to India, to be with her during this time. My question here is if I go for visa stamping will I get stamping till Aug 2022 or aug 2025?
If I get stamping till Aug 2025, Can I come back before aug 2022 without any issue?
If I get stamping till Aug 2022, will there be any issues at port of entry

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?
