Child Care Costs Take A Big Toll

When I went back to work after having my first baby, I soon found out that my chosen child care centre was pretty awful. It wasn’t easy to find another one with a vacancy. And when I eventually did the new one wasn’t so good either.

Finally I found a carer called Dianne who ran a wonderful family day care centre. My daughter was happy and loved going there. I was less stressed and didn’t feel as guilty going to work.
