Ok, now that I have your attention will someone PLEASE please please answer these boring questions so I can make an informed decision. I really really really appreciate it. OK, have I groveled sufficiently to get an answer? I'm busting my balls with a one year old here 24-7. Give me a break! I need a job where I can afford a nanny before this kid has me in the mental hospital! Boy, do I respect single mothers now!

I have a possible flying job offer for next year on AC. I am the sole parent of a toddler.

How much will a full time nanny/housekeeper cost?
Can one survive comfortably with a child on $2000 US a month take home? (safe house, utilities, cable TV, internet, decent food, and two beers)
Is there some where I can buy a bike with a child carrier?
Are the paths bad enough to need an off road stoller?


thanks

Flyboy, My wife and I employ a part time cleaning woman for $75 a month. She comes in several times a month and when we are in SP (a week or so every month) she cooks our meals. Cheap house help is plentiful in Belize. You should be fine on $2000 a month even if you drink more than 2 beers.

Thanks all for your input.

I can't see the dolphins, but the longer I look for them, the more excited I feel. This is strange........my mind is not in the gutter, but it might be peering over the curb......

Hey Flyboy

I have a cleaning lady/nanny/cook that works for me Monday thru Saturday 8 am to 5 pm and I pay her $300 Bz per week. Over the years I have been sure to give her time off with pay when it is convenient for me and always a Xmas bonus etc. She is very highly paid compared to other women in her profession. You should be able to find a babysitter for $200 Bz per week - but why not go for someone that is willing to do all.

If you rent a one bed apartment you are looking at around $900 Bz per month. If you get a 2 bed apartment and have the maid live-in you can pay her less but you will pay more in rent! Don't forget that familiarity can breed contempt and you might be better off having a "daily" baby sitter. I am sure you can easily have her mind the child on the occasional night so you can go out and have a life too.

Food is not cheap here unless you eat only local fare.

On $2000 US per month you will definitely need to live frugally. It is not impossible to be comfortable, but what about health/medical insurance etc. It is the incidental costs that take you over the edge.

This is a fantastic place to raise kids and you can live a simple but happy and healthy life here.

Good luck!

Amanda is correct
-having spent a few days here I would estimate,just for myself,a healthy 1000usd per week would suffice-needless to say I believe one could have a comfortable life on 1000bzd per week

I've studied it over and over. I honestly cannot see any dolphins... only eels and caves. Actually, no eels, just caves and under water mountains. eek

Thanks

I have found the medical care here excellent and very affordable. Office vist for my drivers liscens exam wa $30 BZ and done with no waiting.

The Vet is fantastic and you can't beat the price. My little Pepe had his balls removed yesterday for $75 BZ.

If you drink the water (free) instead of the rum or beer (cheap) you can live on a lot less than those who spend their days and nights in the local bars. :p
