I am desperately looking for a nanny asap. I no longer have someone to watch my son while I work part time. Iāve toured daycares and itās a big fat no for me. Any suggestions on finding local nannies?? I just tried care.com. Any other recommendations?

Hello mummies, I was using a childminder for a month while my daughter was on the waiting list of a nursery. I signed a contract for a year with 1 month of notice period.

I feel so guilty that my little boy will be in nursery 4 days a week when all I see is other posts about 1 or 2 days a week. Itās our only option as I canāt go part time with my role as Iām the higher earner. He also canāt stay with family other than the one day he already will be.

Hi Ladies, Does anyone send their little one to the Heatherton busy bees nursery. We went today to look around and seems lovely but just trying to get first hand views. Thank you. X
Yāall, my daughter just turned 6 months and Iāve been wanting to go back to work because Iāve been going crazy but oh my god. Why does it cost so much.
I knew having a baby would be full on and take up a lot of my time but my god the list keeps getting bigger and bigger of all the jobs I have to do and canāt seem to get anything done. If the baby is awake she takes up 95% of my time and if sheās asleep I canāt do half the stuff I want to because itāll wake her up. ...
