Parents across the U.S. are struggling with high childcare costs, often exceeding their mortgage or rent payments. A mother named Johnson, who has two young children and manages a website, emphasizes the need to create additional revenue streams to cope with these expenses. In 2018, median childcare costs ranged from $4,800 to $15,400, adjusted for inflation to $5,000 to $17,000 in 2022. A BabyCenter poll revealed that 76% of mothers feel the financial burden of childcare strains their budgets. Families also face additional costs for services like transportation and cleaning, leading many to feel overwhelmed.
