cayenne,
The nanny charges 1.2k for both boys..timing is around 7-7pm but we only drop boys around 8pm and nanny is actually v understanding on the fetching back part. sometimes due to jam or heavy rain, we only reach at 8pm. She is still ok. Some nanny is v calculative as in strictly must fetch back by 7pm. The nanny for my boys is only 40 yo, thus she got the energy to tc my twins single handedly...She has been a nanny for many years since 32. I would not say she is perfect, but so far she is ok. She will also whats app me boys progress of the day esp if they are sick...but if one of my boy is hving high fever, I will definitely take care myself...other normal sickness like flu, cough etc I will just send over...Before endorsing medicine she will call or whats app me which I requested.
The nanny washes their clothes/towels also. She actually wanted to washes their bottles but cos I am still sterilising so everyday I will bring 2 bottles there every morning and bring back every night to wash myself. Actually I also worried she uses MaMA lemon to wash la...hehe...
We needs to provide the daily necessities....in fact I provide almost everything..
Its better to get a not too old nanny cos some v old nanny will insist on their own way and dun listen to our instructions at times...Also better to get those from word of mouth instead of thru agency...Look out on the environment, whether there is mahjong table at home cos some nanny will pay mahjong while babysitting your kids...Other small things like watching TV etc, gotta close 2 eyes la...
To me as long as my boys are not hurt v badly is ok to me. no bad falls etc...small small knocks etc are inevitable...
I would also prefer their children to be more grown up also...Hope these helps
kayliz, I also hv discharge!!! Its clear and sticky and occasionally I will feel itch also
Flower, how long your kid in CC already? I am worried about logistics part. Think falling sick is part and parcel of growing up and part of package being in CC
Littlefren,
Any cough syrup safe for babies is safe for preggers also. U can try Prospan. Can get off the shelf from pharmacy or Watsons. I am 10 weeks tomorrow. MS also better for today but still monitoring...My oscar test is only in early April! And till then, no check ups..LOL..
Stella, Oscar test is not 100% accurate...if u all will keep the baby no matter what then really no point doing...Just enjoy your pregnancy... I am the practical and "in control" type. I prefer to know the result and touchwood, prepare for anything or any decisions...If my oscar fails, I also will not opt for amnio...I will seek 2nd opinion at Camden with Prof Ananda for a detailed scan...
lilprecious, I agree...falling sick is part of the process in building up immunity...its ok for me for them to hv small illnesses as and when...my worry is no backups if I can't apply leave...my company not v pro family
I can't stand perfume smell nowadays..Will gag when I smells it....grrrr...
