Sample user voices

"Just coming to say..childcare costs are ridiculous! I have 3 in daycare. They just did their annual increase a month ago, now we have another $15 a week increase (per kid) for a non optional diaper program. Just suckssssss!! We will be at $4500 a month"

"Can't afford for one of us to not work. I'm thinking of switching to over-nights and losing a good chunk of money to avoid childcare costs."
