[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] I guess  what kind of experience do you do you have then with child care
[speaker002:] I think um I wonder if that worked
[speaker001:] does it say something
[speaker002:] I think it usually does you might try um I don't know hold it down a little longer
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] well
[speaker001:] okay I does it usually make a recording or something
[speaker002:] well I don't remember it seemed like it did but it might not I guess I guess
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] we can start um
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] no I don't I don't have any kids I um my sister has a she just had a baby he's about five months old and she was worrying about going back to work and what she was gonna do with him and
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] the different do you have kids
[speaker001:] I have three
[speaker002:] oh really
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] yeah I do
[speaker001:] yes um I don't work though but I used to work and when I had two children
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I work off and on just temporarily and usually find friends to babysit but I don't envy anybody who's in that situation to find day care
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but does your sister live in a big community
[speaker002:] um yeah she lives it's a it's a fairly large community she um got real lucky though she had a boss who um moved into a larger office
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and she's able to take her baby to work with her
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] and it's a small office that she works in
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and um it's a it's a legal firm office and it's just one lawyer and so she's the only one really that takes care of the office there's no one else that works there
[speaker001:] um um-hum
[speaker002:] and so they have an extra room and everything for the baby so it works out pretty good for her
[speaker001:] wow
[speaker002:] how lucky
[speaker001:] I I know a lot of people around here sometimes have like mothers or grandmothers that take care of their kids and but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] the community I'm in is not a real large one so there are a lot of people who babysit in their home that you know you either know them or know somebody who knows them to get
[speaker002:] yeah so it's fairly safe
[speaker001:] to yeah to get references and that so but um I I don't don't feel comfortable about leaving my kids in a big day care center but simply because there's so many kids and so many
[speaker002:] worried that they're not going to get enough attention
[speaker001:] yeah and um you know colds and things like that get spread real easy and things but and they're expensive and
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] course there's a lot of different types of day care available too you know where they teach them academic things
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] or they just watch them and let them play and things like that but take a long time to find the right place
[speaker002:] yeah and you and you don't always even know if it's it's gonna be the right place or not
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] anything I guess could happen
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] because after I guess after he you know gets to a certain age she's going to have to take him to a day care
[speaker001:] um-hum when he starts toddling around and stuff yeah
[speaker002:] yeah when when he's not when she can't keep control of him and he starts crawling that's
[speaker001:] um-hum it would be hard I think it would be kind of stressful it would be nice to have him around
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but um seems like you know golly what if he cried at the wrong time or the phone rang or you know at the wrong time but
[speaker002:] yeah I think she has problems with that too
[speaker001:] um-hum well when you have kids will you work do you work now
[speaker002:] I don't know that's something I've considered um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] I always kind of think it would be neat to be able to watch them and be there for them all the time
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] is that what you do
[speaker001:] um yeah uh actually I teach my kids at home so I'm here all the time
[speaker002:] oh so they don't go to school is it like um oh what's that called it's a correspondence school they do it at home
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah yeah
[speaker002:] that's interesting do you have to have any special training
[speaker001:] so not it depends on the state you live actually some laws absolutely prohibit it some states um say that you have to be a certified teacher in order to do that our state doesn't yet  say that and I'm not a certified teacher I went to college but I
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] you know but my kids are only elementary grades levels right now and so
[speaker002:] so they haven't been to public schools at all
[speaker001:] one of them was for a couple of years and so you know my oldest he was and then my youngest two have never been
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] so anyway but we don't
[speaker002:] so you've never had
