Nannies and daycare and au pairs—oh my! If the world of childcare feels overwhelming and confusing, you’re not alone. Whether you’re back at work, staying home but still want a break (fair), or just trying to figure out what kind of support fits your life, this episode breaks it all down.

In this episode, I walk you through every major type of childcare—from newborn care specialists to daycares to au pairs—and explain what each option actually looks like in real life. I cover the pros and cons, the surprising costs, what to expect in each setting, and what kind of flexibility (or lack thereof) each option comes with.

Join me this week to hear some real talk about what to really look for in a caregiver, what it means to be a good employer, and why “you get what you pay for” is never more true than when it comes to trusting someone else with your baby. If you’ve ever Googled “nanny vs daycare” at 1AM, this one’s for you.
