That “Carebnb” article from TIME was all over the place! “Wee-Care, suggests that [home based daycare] providers could make $100,000 a year.” Oh really, tech bros at WeeCare? Explain to me how that happens without watching an absurd (illegal) number of kids or charging rates that no parent will ever pay for? The article seems to acknowledge the harsh realities of the crumbling childcare system, while also interspersing it with ridiculous claims about apps and tech algorithms somehow being part of the solution. Not worth the time to read it. Doesn’t feel as if a parent with actual, real experience with childcare got anywhere near that article.
