Man, y’all weren’t joking when you said finding #childcare would be a challenge. Trying to find someone to help with the #baby once the semester starts back up is proving not a simple task. There really is a #childcarecrisis and Americans, as usual, do the absolute wrong thing to address it.
And we’re not even looking at #daycare. That’s a whole different can of worms.
@DrGTenbergen iirc COVID hit the industry pretty hard. Hopefully things will improve in the coming months
@elliot I know, right? I see it around here and I’ve read about it and am in complete support of initiatives to support both stay at home parents and professional caregivers. If we truly cared about children and families the way we say we do, we’d put our money where our mouths are and fund the hell out of early childhood programs. Like celebrity-level funding.
@DrGTenbergen This showed up in my feed yesterday. Seemed relevant.
