Common sense always prevails in these situations, but being a new parent has me second-guessing etiquette in some situations (or maybe it's just nerves about getting back to work!). Great point about the potential for interviewing on the spot. Thanks for your reply tonight.

Hi everyone, I never thought I would have to ask this question but... I'm debating whether it is unprofessional to take my 9 month old daughter to HR while seeking a new job. My husband is a medicine resident in the military, so we just moved to a new home away from family/friends and his work hours are pretty insane right now. I am searching for childcare so that I can get a per diem job as a RN (minimum 2 shifts/month in this area), but haven't had to use a babysitter in the past (baby is breastfed, I've been staying at home with her). While I would certainly find childcare if I can schedule an interview, do you think it's unprofessional to bring my baby with me to HR to look for a job? I've never been in this position before, and don't want to be tacky. Please no judgement, just honest advice. I'd especially love to hear from anyone who has ever had to do this. Thank you.
