Mamá of 3 | Dual citizen 🇨🇴🇺🇸 | What it's like from someone with roots on both sides
👇🏽 Free guides for families in Medellín

Part 2 is here! Your practical guide before you walk into El Hueco. Because going without a plan is how you end up overpaying, overwhelmed, and leaving without half the things you came for. Cash only. Negotiate everything. Dress down. Know your prices. And yes! there’s a tour if you want to go with someone who already knows the layout. 
Save this one. You’ll need it before you go.  Comment HUECO for the full breakdown, history, and contact to book a tour!

Your nanny’s visa got approved. That doesn’t mean

Your nanny’s visa got approved. That doesn’t mean she’s ready to fly.

We’re bringing ours to the US for the first time, and the visa stamp is just one piece of it. Here’s everything else we’re packing:
🇺🇸Passport + B1 visa stamp
🇺🇸Visa confirmation page
🇺🇸Her visa interview docs
🇺🇸Employment contract (Spanish + English)
🇺🇸Trip amendment + State minimum wage (also bilingual)
🇺🇸Letter from me explaining the trip + her role
🇺🇸Cédula copy
🇺🇸Proof of ties to Colombia
🇺🇸Travel insurance copy
🇺🇸Itinerary: flights, stay, contact info 
📱Bonus: International roaming so she’s reachable the whole trip @clarocolombia is wildly affordable compared to US roaming plans.

If you’re a family living abroad with household help, this is the part nobody warns you about. What am I missing?
