Stop Leaving Your Child with Strangers
by: Susan Peterson
Have you been there? The frightening crunch where you need to make money but don’t want to leave your child with strangers.
It is a horrible feeling!
When my oldest daughter was 3 years old (and I was a bit greener) I had to come back to my child’s daycare center unannounced to get something I left for work only to discover that my daughter was still in her car seat in the same spot I left her and it was 3 hours later! The provider’s excuse was that “she was getting the children settled?
That was my wake up call and my two daughters never returned to childcare!
According to BizStats.Com there are more than 600,000 child daycare centers in the USA.
In my, never to be humble, opinion that’s 599,000 more than there should be.
Doing The Math!
When you do the math and subtract the cost of daycare from the money you made working (that required your child to be put in daycare) you make very little profit. Let’s say that you are lucky enough to find a decent facility that charges only $200.00 dollars a week for your child.
$200.00 x 52 weeks equals = $10,400.00 dollars (let’s take out the holidays and just call it $10,000.00)
Ironically, the minimum wage (as of this writing) is 5.00 dollars an hour.
$5.00 x 40 hour work week = $200.00 dollars
This alone makes my point.
But let’s say that you have forgotten about the other things you need to consider in going back to work:
Gas for your car (or money for public transportation)
Food (it’s amazing how much you can spend …even if you pack a lunch)
Sundries (coffee, cigarettes, candy, etc)
Using these figures you can see that going back to work may actually cause you to lose money.
What’s my point?
Unless you are incredibly lazy there are lots of ways to generate a couple of hundred dollars a week from home without leaving your child with strangers.
You can earn much more than that if you are a bit industrious.
Here are a few examples:
Yard Sales – an excellent source of income. And if you have a corner house you can even take your neighbors stuff and sell it for a piece of the commission. You and your kids get some fresh air (and time away from the tube) and you make some money at the same time.
