Is there a type of contractor that can look at why ?

I’m on the 6th floor of a relatively modern building, my apartment gets much hotter than it is outside. It has large double glazed windows that I’ve applied heat reflecting film to, other than that I can’t think of why it gets so hot.

The title pretty much sums it all up im just curious about what kind of things people prioritise in a neighbourhood there’re living in?

Obviously the budget and commute / specific apartment will dictate most of fhis. But barring that, how do u sense the vibe of a neighborhood?? What do you look for? IF I get the option to

I’ve been walking around and also have lived in a couple different areas over the past few years. I just am unsure about how to describe why one block works and the next doesn’t solely based off my gut / vibes.

How can I figure out if I “see myself living there”

Isn’t that racist ?

We’re parents with a 5 year old and a newborn. Ever since the 5 year old started going to school our full-time nanny has spent a few hours a day in the apartment doing dishes, laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, etc, until school is over. Not just for child-related things, for the whole family, because there’s a lot of time in the day to fill.

We just had a newborn. Dad has 3 months of paternity leave, while mom is self employed and is also on leave.

So far, we as the parents have been taking care of the baby ourselves. We haven’t asked the nanny to feed, change, hold, or rock the baby. There have been baby clothes to wash and fold, and baby bottles to wash, but that’s not really any different than what the nanny was doing for us as a family before.

At some point, when everyone goes back to work, our nanny will start looking after the baby. But even then, our older kid will be in school until 2:30 pm. So there will only be a few hours a day at most when she has both of them. So finally to my question: when do we give a raise?

1. Now, because she’s cleaning baby clothes and bottles (even though she was already cleaning the adults’ clothes and dishes)
2. Once we go back to work, but the raise will reflect that she’s with two kids for only half the day
3. Once we go back to work and a full “two kid” raise

Please let us know your experience! Thank you!

Tried it in Utah and quite liked it
