We expect quality care for our kids, and that means childcare workers should be paid properly.
Can someone explain to me why Daycares are so expensive, but daycare workers are so underpaid? What am I missing?In a subsequent tweet, user @DrJ_Easley noted that her parents run a small, in-home daycare, and that her question arose because there was a “huge gap” between what her parents charge and what she pays “down here” in GA.
Imagine parents and child care workers paid identical hourly rates. If a worker cares for four children, that person needs 1/4 of a parent's pay per child. Plus FICA. Plus benefits. Plus a room with utilities and equipment and supplies and food. Plus someone to keep the books.“Imagine parents and child care workers paid identical hourly rates,” user @SPWeston said. “If a worker cares for four children, that person needs 1/4 of a parent’s pay per child. Plus FICA. Plus benefits.
Note that the quick math in @KiraboJackson’s tweet above assumes an even three-way split of $90,000. That number doesn’t include any overhead whatsoever — no mortgage, liability insurance, electricity, water, gas, internet, phone, building maintenance, bookkeeper, food, cleaning supplies, room decor, etc.
