Hi...
I have looked into the baby care thing a bit since I found out I am pregnant. Hubby and I have not been able to establish ourselves well enough for me to take more than 6months maternity leave, so I have to go back to work.
Can anyone tell me... how expensive is childcare really and what are the pitfalls I should be looking out for?
Would it be wise to possibly get a young Saffer on a working holiday visa to become an Au Pair?? And if so, what would I have to pay, over and above board and lodging?
THis is possibly a premature question, but I need to start thinking about these little things before it is too late.
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
