[quote=Anonymous]The pandemic that is never ending as we all know has been detrimental particularly to working moms.

The first 7 months we were without daycare for our then six month old. Like most people we thought it was a two week flatten the curve wait...then it rolled into a month, then okay until Memorial Day etc etc. When we realized that our child would be a year old before the daycare reopened and then found out there was not space in the older big kid room...plus factoring in the daycare location was no longer a good option because we were not going into the office...we ended up with a part time nanny.

Of course we would have liked full time, but that would be double the cost of daycare. Nanny shares wont work for us now since we are at home working and the house isn't big enough to accommodate.

Every single daycare in our neighborhood is at reduced capacity or a long wait list...same for preschools for twos in the next year.

I am not the type who wants to be VP or anything, but that being said I enjoyed work and making decent money. However, at this point I am so stressed and can't focus on work because of a crappy childcare situation. Our nanny is okay and she works for now since we are home, but she isn't the best honestly.[/quote]
