Italy- US GF: in need of some financial info by previous or current fellows!

On

Hello all!

It is so good to find you here at the Italy Chapter! 

My GF is about to start and I still cannot figure out the basics... So here I am!

My first question is about the approximate net salary in Italy (Venice) and the US (Boston) for global fellows who are also entitled to the family allowance i.e. the salary after tax, social security, health insurance and whatever other reductions. I am particularly asking because I will be bringing my baby with me and I am super stressed as I need to plan very early on for daycare etc, which particularly in the US is incredibly expensive (good luck to me!)

My second question is about health insurance and how it works in both Italy and the US for global fellows also vis-a-vis their descendants. In other words, will I receive health insurance as part of my contract or I should cover this myself? Also, will my baby be covered by this insurance as well or do I need to pay extra?

Thank you so much and I am looking forward to your responses!
