Re: cost of child care

Those who care for children should be paid well. If you
expect her to drive your child to preschool, expect to pay
more. Those two ages can be hell on a parent's nerves, even
more so on a person not as emotionally invested as a parent
is. You get what you pay for...if a childcare provider feels
she's not being adequately paid, she may resent how hard the
kids can be. Those ages are hard, esp. together, for a parent
and even more so for a provider. Pay her what she's
worth...she's caring for your most important posession.
