By "in-home child care hobby business" I assume what nocoiner means is: If San Francisco childcare costs are $25/hour why is anyone pouring coffees or flipping burgers if looking after three kids brings in $75/hour?
Obviously some people don't have the space - but many do. Surely it's lucrative enough that there shouldn't be a shortage of supply?
- thatfrenchguy 3y agoSF childcare costs are usually around ~20 an hour per child in 1:2 (under the table, where folks who can afford it get an indirect subsidy from the government via Medi-cal and dodging fica) nanny shares where the nanny goes in your home. It’s a vaguely healthy market from what my friends tell me. Doesn’t work in the suburbs where you won’t find a family 3 blocks from your house with a similar age child. You would think it would be more common though given how much useless sqft folks in the suburbs have.
- bombcar 3y ago"in-home child care hobby business" means stay-at-home parent. But in the non-urban areas around here there are in-home childcare setups, that have to follow specific laws. I assume something could be done similar in urban areas, but the size of house that is amenable to it may be limited in number.
