[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many people [have to] pay for before and/or after care. Sad but true.[/quote]

Yes, I mean if there's no work flexibility or family to help, solutions are:
1) before care
2) hire someone to do dropoff 
3) see if a bus route would help, since the kids have to get on the bus way before school starts
We did before care and after care for years because it was a trade-off for flexibility. Yes, it was $$, but both us having jobs was $$$. Explore what makes sense for your family.

That being said, I agree with PPs that you should see if you can get some flexibility in the job (if you get it.) May be best to start by asking other folks who work there aboht implicit and explicit assumptions of hours on site. 
I would say that assuming you can start at 9:30 shouldn't be a given. I had a job that had 10-4 core hours even 10 years ago, but that's more an exception than a rule. There's a good chance you'd be needed on at least some calls prior to 9. Making everything work also depends on details like kids' ages etc.[/quote]
