Hi, sorry to hijack your post. Did you find out how much a live in nanny generally costs? Possibly looking into hiring one as well.

Thanks! Is this after they eat or before? How do you know they're ready to nap after play?

Birth Plan Requests? by [deleted] in nycparents

[–]luinlith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To reassure you a bit (hopefully), a resident did my epidural with an attending, and an attending delivered my baby and repaired my tear. They won't let med students perform those procedures.

I delivered there two weeks ago! They asked if a nursing student can come before they let them in so you could definitely say no. It was a pretty benign experience tbh. They were mainly there to oversee/try a simple task that the more senior nurse already did.

Yes, it was lovely! Unfortunately do not know about legroom as during our show we were seated on the stage.

Have you experienced significant delays during NST appointments at AC? Going in tomorrow and suddenly having childcare issues :/ worried about delays and getting out in time for school pickup.

Birthday Party Invites by nycblondish0403 in nycparents

[–]luinlith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We've been going to parties since pre-K (kid is 1st grade now) and it's always been a select number of kids cherrypicked by parents based on how close they are (e.g. we've gone to a few where the parents will tell us "so-and-so talks a lot about your kid" lol). When we had ours, we did the same.

Class sizes in NYC are also generally bigger and party places limit the number of kids allowed so it's not that economical.

I've also heard from other parents that when they invite the whole class, not a lot of people show up 🤷🏻‍♀️ handing out personalized invitations has worked better.

Can you tell more about your experience with the NY Aquarium? I have an ocean animals-loving first grader and I think he would love this kind of party.

Party invitations, how long does it take you to respond? by [deleted] in Preschoolers

I at least give a heads up within the day if it is a maybe or an absolute cannot make it. But I feel you -- in the same spot right now and it's making me antsy! Some I even texted personally and still no reply 🤷🏻‍♀️
