Letter: Childcare too expensive to return to work

It’s very hard to work when more than half of what you make goes to paying for childcare

Letter. Letter.

To the editor:

As a mother and early childhood educator, I find it very hard to find work that cannot only justify working but pay for childcare. It’s very hard to work when more than half of what you make goes to paying for childcare. It just doesn’t make sense to even go back to work to pay so much for care and make not enough. The $10 a day could benefit myself as a mother wanting to be in the workforce as well as getting the wage I deserve.
