We interviewed Prity, a Project Manager and mother of 2. She described her pregnancy as a Roller Coaster ride. She said that with her first born, she just blanked out not knowing what to do. She had to eventually call her mother to take care of the little one. With her second one, she was more prepared as she reached out to several day cares in the area, early on in the process. Her initial list of day cares comprised of day cares that her friends and co-workers trusted and liked. As they were living in the metro area, the wait lists were long and information too unstructured.
How many day cares did yo apply to? I applied to 5 day cares.
How much did you pay for the wait lists? The fee varied from $70 - $150.
How many times did you call the day care centers to check the status? I called one day care center each day of the week because I couldn't have my mother come over again to look after the kids.
Was the process frustrating? Oh Yes! I believe the season was busy, and often I got busy lines and they necessarily didn't return calls, so I had to redial quite often which took a lot of time from my busy schedule.
Would it help if someone you knew took care of the process for you? I guess it will. As long as they could ensure I could trust them with providing me accurate information as well as the day care sending out legit information to the agency.
Would you be willing to pay for this service? I can start with a small amount. If they do a good job, I might pay more.
