Alternative Child Care
Listen Now: Alternative Child Care
You know child care is expensive, when it’s cheaper to have an entire theme park become your babysitter. I’m Brian Banmiller on Business.
These days child care can cost about the same as one month’s rent. And it turns out the cost of raising kids has always been high. To drive home the point, Liv Vasquez, a Chef with 50,000 followers on Tik Tok, explained what her mom used to do. She says when she was growing up her mom opted out of sending her and her brother to the after-school program until they could be picked up. Instead, she sent them to Universal Studios in Orlando. Every single day Vasquez and her brother would get dropped by the school bus which happened to have a stop outside the park. Then they would hang out until their mom could pick them up. It turned out the park’s annual pass often cost hundreds of dollars less than more traditional means of child care. And Vasquez says it worked out well for everyone. They always found new things to do, including trying out for the theme park shows. Brian Baniller, CBS News.
