Hot take as a mom until I find my people: If you think daycare is expensive, wait until you hear how little of that money actually goes to the teachers loving your babies all day. Daycare teachers deserve to be paid so much more.

Daycare is expensive. Like REALLY expensive. But somehow the people spending all day teaching, comforting, feeding, wiping tears, changing diapers and loving our babies still aren’t paid nearly enough. Our daycare teachers are a huge part of our village, and I will forever believe they deserve so much more. #WorkingMom #DaycareMom #DaycareTeachers #WorkingMoms #MomLife
