Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly?

For daycare at least, ours and most others in our city got bought out by one company. Even daycares no explicitly renamed after the company fall under its umbrella.
They raise rates 8% per year and added two new annual fees. Yet they struggle with teacher retention because they don’t pay them hardly anything but charged us $3k/monthf or two kids full time.

Holy shit that’s too much. You could basically hire someone from a foreign country to live in your house full time and nanny your kids for that much.

I agree. Unfortunately my wife works in a job that requires time to vest retirement benefits and she didn’t want to miss out on 8 years time. I mean, she also makes more than the cost of daycare but it does eat up most of her check.
