Hi,
I have multiple questions. I?m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I currently live in Santiago and am the proud mother of a 5 month old baby girl. I am currently on maternity leave but will have to return to work as of July. I don?t know too many people in Santiago. How do i go about finding a reputable nanny (live out)? I prefer someone who is active with my child, can read and do activities with her. I also prefer someone who is a bit older without young kids and can work odd hours, sometimes evenings and weekends which is why a daycare is not suitable. Is there such a degree or program such as childcare or social work that maybe i can go to a school for reference? Also, what is the salary range i should be offering? Job does not include cleaning as i have a maid, just taking care of my baby. I am often out of the Country so someone with extreme qualifications and trust is required.
Part 2 - After all these years i decided to get my official residency so I also require a reference for an English speaking Lawyer in Santiago so i can start the residency process. The baby was born in Canada but her father is Dominican. Some people have said she can obtain a birth certificate here, this sounds crazy to me as she wasn't born here. Is this true or does she she need to go through the same residency process as i do?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give. Feel free to pm me with a response.
Regards, DW
PS thanks to all Dominicans for your very open advice on childrearing. I know my baby doesn't have socks on
