Sharenthood

👋🏽 We're Sharenthood. We're the place where parents hire parents online for childcare. Let's solve this mess. #childcare nytimes.com/2022/07/07/bus…

Same with being a Dad. Parents are the portals to the future!

Degrees are not the only source of quality childcare experience. #parentingcounts We can expect childcare will become inaccessible for DC families who can barely afford it as it is. reason.com/volokh/2022/08…

#BackToSchool school checklist: Confirm the date of the last background checks for the staff at your child’s daycare or elementary school. 💡

Inflation and Food theft are correlated! We are very disappointed to see a local daycare targeted in this way.

No recession? Which macro indicator tracks increases in food theft at #daycares? wjla.com/news/local/fai…

Just in case you thought #parenting needs have changed in these modern times - this was printed in the #nytimes exactly 60 years ago.

"These cross-class friendships...had a stronger impact than school quality, family structure, job availability or a community’s racial composition. The people you know, the study suggests, open up opportunities..." nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@sydelleleanne Keep them coming!

Decided to jump on the Little Miss/Mr Men moment and make some #ECE themed ones! Here’s some of my faves:

@NadiaGronkowski It would be so nice if parents could hire other parents. Not to mention we’d start circulating $ in our own communities.

Just in case anyone was wondering how the whole finding child care thing is going for parents of infants these days… a rant— I mean, 🧵:

Word of the Day. Also Fact of the Day.

The #childcare crisis is a classic supply/demand dynamic. Rather than increasing provider:child ratios, we believe in decentralizing childcare by professionalizing parents. It just makes sense #childcarebyus

“States’ maximum child-to-adult ratios for #childcare programs are rightly low, commonly 1:4 for infants and 1:6 to 1:8 for toddlers. With personnel costs so high and little public funding, even the painful parent fees can’t fully cover expenses” theatlantic.com/family/archive…

@AudreyNGoodson Wouldn’t it be better if it were just 1 group - for all the parents?

66% of parents are feeling burnout RN. @cara_67402/i-learn-and-become-a-better-parent-with-each-passing-day-71446ac01da8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@cara_67402/i-…

Teens know the value of "#babysitting" RN. @Parents - your childrearing and childcaring experience has even more value. Your neighborhood needs you - you don't even realize how much. Make some new family friends nearby and explore what you're worth today. wsj.com/articles/babys…

As long as incentivized means paid - we agree ⁦@KemiBadenoch! “Grannies and grandads and aunts and uncles should also be incentivised to help take care of little ones in their family — and take the burden off struggling parents” ⁩ thesun.co.uk/news/19231112/…

❤️ Take care if you have #parenting burnout : “a chronic condition resulting from high levels of parenting-related stress due to a mismatch between the demands of parenting and the resources available for parents to meet those demands.” healthline.com/health/parenti…

Teen babysitters know their worth. Rock star parents - do you? 🧐 Start getting paid for your parenting expertise and make new family friends at the same time. wsj.com/articles/babys…
