=more people able to be part of the workforce and contribute to society (and generate tax revenue to offset the costs of daycare).
The problem is that kids are dying and dead kids don't talk. Even living kids don't talk because they are so young. We also don't know how many kids are being abused. At least with a camera system it is possible to remotely monitor what is happening.
How ever you feel about daycare isn't the point. No job will go unfilled because someone stays at home to take care of their kids.
Actually I don't think the daycares are run on a one child to one adult ratio so the more people being part of the work force is true.
I don't have kids, but when my niece was in daycare the people running it had cameras set up that could be viewed at any time on a computer if you had the passcodes (they were changed very regularly). This was over 10 years ago, I'm surprised that it is not a standard for any dayhome.
I know people who have hired a philipino nanny. There are mixed results. Some are happy others are not. The cost is around 30K per year.
Very common in the Portuguese, Italian and Asian communities. In Brampton, it is not uncommon to see 3 generations of the same family living in the same house.
Yup. There is something to be said for the "old ways."
Kids are expensive. Wait until they go to private school. At least university is free (I think) now in Ontario unless you are "rich".
I will define rich, but you can bet they will not get a free ride. Hence the maxed up RESP.
