[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the essential workers saying you have to work so you have to use child care, this thread is about centers -- you could get a nanny or a babysitter share.  That is what the NYT doctor in the parenting section recommended. It's a tough choice.[/quote]

You realize that there are essential workers who can't afford nannies, right? [/quote]

NP here. I think this pandemic and the closure of daycares is highlighting how important childcare is to our economy. I think there should be some sort of government funded stipend working parents could use (or at least larger childcare tax deduction) that could go toward one-on-one childcare services. This would a) help out of work childcare providers and b) get the economy going because parents can work. It would also be much lower risk than a center setting. We are going to have to figure out something like this.

We aren’t sending our kids to daycare right now because we are fortunate to have work from home jobs. I can’t imagine sending them anytime soon, but I have nothing but understanding and empathy for parents in the tough position to send their children in. Everyone is doing the best they can to get by right now and everyone’s circumstances look different. [/quote]
