I’m not sure that I ever mentioned it on here but I suffered with severe post-partum anxiety, especially related to Baker’s childcare, and it wasn’t until after Baker started staying with her Nanny and Papa (and I started medication) that I had relief from this. So on top of financially and emotionally, they literally saved…
