I know. It is a difficult decision but I will have to start to work at some point and its something that I have been considering for the last few months. My husband is also insisting that I get a part time job because we do need some extra income and a nursery seems the best option for me...Its just something very personal, I wouldn't leave my daughter with a maid because you never know how she may treat your little one when you are not around.

Some people prefer maids, others prefer nurseries. I think both options are good as long as the mother knows that she has made the right decision and feel good about it and of course as long as the child is well looked after. I wouldn't cosider a maid, but I cannot explain why! I just wouldn't feel comfortable.

I can't remeber the name of the nursery I visited! It was right behind the Almuntazah co-operative. Could it be Gulf Nursery? It was really cheap. I asked to leave her initially three days a week for a couple of hours just to give it a try and they would charge me only 300 per month. But I never tried it cause my first impression was so bad.
