1st Round of Interviews - 4 interviews

4 Interviews Tuesday March 11th Morning

1.) Interview 1 - Random Ukranian Woman, solicited in the Georgetown Parking Lot. Pregnant, with one child at home. Stay at home mother. Spent 20k a year for 2-3 hours daily. Very focused on finding warm teachers that are more like grandmothers. Does regular play dates. 7 year old children

2.) Interview 2- Giordan Gill - MBA student - 3 month year old newborn. Wife very specific on how the baby should be taken care of. Currently have two sets of in-laws to take care of child. Wife has taken time off to take care of baby but hopes to head back to school. Worried about affordable day care.

3.) Interview 3 - Laura Kapenski - Career Center MSB - 3 months pregnant. Has already begun research day care options and plans to go back to work after 3 months. Would like to do some sort of shared day care/ nanny option but does not know anyone in the same position. Cost, location, quality of care and flexibility the most pressing concerns. Most of her information came from other parents - especially concerned about home care and daycare options that did not come recommended. Mentioned that the good day cares have wait lists and only know about availability one month prior. Mentioned that sources of information very fragmented. Would be interested in a service that interviewed parents needs, lifestyle,  and then found and vetted three best options. Would be willing to pay $500-$1000 dollars.

4.) Interview 4 - Lauren Cupp - Mother of 2 (age 27 months and three weeks), former pre-school teacher. Left work to take care of children because the costs of daycare prohibitive. Would use nanny/daycare if left over salary was a least 1500$(take home) a month. Participates in Mothers Day Out - run by church - allows mother to drop child off once or twice a week - same day, time and teachers. 9 kids to 2 teachers. Likes mothers day out option because it is cheaper than day care, flexible
