I agree completely. My daycare provider is a second mom to my daughter, and we both love her dearly. I wish I could pay more than I do, but I can barely pay what I do, since I make just enough not to qualify for state aid.
It's a shame that employers don't include a daycare cost benefit to employees. Even families with mothers or fathers who do stay at home could use it to supplement the loss of the second income. It makes as much sense to me as health insurance.
And you wonderful people who help our children grown and learn are one of the most valuable assets we have. Those of us who can't stay home with our own beloveds worship the ground you walk on. (Or they should.)
