[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think it's common everywhere.  They're the ones that actually have the energy to chase after our rugrats all day!  [/quote]

No snark intended, but young childless women are pretty much the only ones willing to accept the very low wages that comes with working at a daycare.

Once they  have kids, they don't make enough to cover childcare, so the only employee pool you can draw from is young low skilled workers or retirement age women looking to supplement their income. It is what it is. [/quote]

I pay $2k/month for 2 year old. Anyone knows how much does average daycare teacher make? Is that the reasons why I hear people say it is best to gift cash/giftcards to teacher on holidays?[/quote]

Many of them make minimum wage or only slightly above it.  Few of them get benefits.  It really is a tough job for very little pay so yes, that's why cash is best.[/quote]

Not to mention, they have to be there at the butt crack of dawn - even when there are weather delays, work the days before holidays when many of us might get sent home early, OR the flip side get sent home without pay if there aren't enough kids in the center that day.  I will happily give cash or gift cards forever.  It's a job they couldn't pay me $500k a year to do, and they do it every day for very little money with a smile.[/quote]
