[speaker001:] child care or
[speaker002:] uh no actually I'm still single
[speaker001:] are you
[speaker002:] yeah but my mom uh she teaches at a uh child care center
[speaker001:] oh does she what
[speaker002:] yeah uh you've heard of Kinder Care
[speaker001:] yeah I have
[speaker002:] yeah it's a big chain she uh she teaches up in uh up in the Washington area
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] matter of fact it's a pretty big business
[speaker001:] yeah it is my wife teaches is teaches at this uh little small family owned one here in Utah but uh
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] I don't know what do you think about it
[speaker002:] do they have a lot of those up in Utah
[speaker001:] uh they do actually there's quite a few and getting more and more seems like
[speaker002:] yeah they're they're growing really really fast I remember uh I I worked with a bunch of people uh uh for the summer and she was trying and one of the ladies there who drove me there she was trying to put her daughter in child care and it was the the competition is pretty fierce you know
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah
[speaker002:] uh some places uh charge a lot of money and offer all sorts of amenities
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] some places are like really cheap but uh you know they like have a it's like a home or something an old home they just hire a bunch of people and have a big yard and let the kids play back there
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh play all day
[speaker002:] yeah and
[speaker001:] so what was she looking for when she was out around
[speaker002:] well she was um she was looking for something cheap obviously uh someone to take care of her kid but that at the same time she didn't want you know some people that were like a bunch of teenagers you know
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] just out there working because some people do that they'll just go to high school or something get some kids who work for five dollars an hour and get them out there and that's all they really care about you know
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker002:] but uh some places like uh they have uh they set up a gym you know like a jungle gym and uh they they emphasize like athletics and stuff like that but those kinds of places get pretty expensive and it's really for the yuppies
[speaker001:] yeah yeah yeah well my wife I mean they they have a prepared you know little school school type lessons for them and stuff but
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but the kids sometimes are so rowdy and want to be outside that that stuff doesn't go over too well she she's not too set on the whole thing I mean it's a job for her she has to take it but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh she's not too she'd rather almost just get a somebody she knows you know personally and have them babysit her you know her kids
[speaker002:] hum yeah my uh that's that's what uh what my mom you know thinks is the best way to do it you know if you know someone uh who's willing to take care of the person who's willing to take care of the kids that that uh you know that you can trust
[speaker001:] if she had to um-hum yeah
[speaker002:] that's probably the best way to do it because sometimes you know I I don't know if you saw the thing on uh some news I think on ABC one time they was showing how people the some of the people were just smacking the kids around you know
[speaker001:] yeah yeah her yeah well that was and that was what really kind kind of scared us is because well we we have a daughter and she goes with her but she's in a different class and my wife will poke her head downstairs and she'll see the lady screaming at the kids and stuff and I'm just going wait a minute you know I mean
[speaker002:] um-hum um
[speaker001:] she's a year and half you you know eighteen months old
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah
[speaker001:] you can't be screaming at them too much but
[speaker002:] yeah really
[speaker001:] it seems uh I don't know I was pretty I'm not I I don't like them I think
[speaker002:] how many kids do you have
[speaker001:] we just have one just a little daughter eighteen months and
[speaker002:] just one yeah
[speaker001:] I said I it's the only reason you know she the only reason we have my wife working is that she can work with her she can go to work with her otherwise it's
[speaker002:] um-hum is it expensive up there
[speaker001:] well we I think they usually charge about twelve bucks a day so I think we're pretty cheap I heard once that like out in Boston it could be upwards of four hundred dollars a month and here you and yeah
[speaker002:] yeah it it can get real expensive I remember I worked at a place in Washington called Intelsat
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh the building also house WJLA and they had a it was the child care facility was on one of the floors in the building
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh they would charge I think the rate was eight hundred dollars a month for child care but the convenience was that the kid was in the same building as you were and it was a and
[speaker001:] gee yeah but you know the kind of money you have to make to make that even worthwhile I mean you know to pay eight hundred bucks out of your income
[speaker002:] oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah but uh the the child care facility was really top notch they had uh the where the kids were was I mean the right above it was an executive uh room for the WJLA right below it was an executive room for WJLA and it's all glass
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh oh really
[speaker002:] so I mean there's really nothing they couldn't do they could do that uh you know that nobody could see you know so everything was pretty much under uh you know uh supervision
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh yeah
[speaker002:] and since uh the building was built on a park on park land they had plenty of land to go out and just play around if they wanted to and
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah I like the idea of having it on site something like that I think that's
[speaker002:] oh yeah I mean you can go visit your kids during the day you know and see see how they're doing
[speaker001:] yeah go have lunch with them and stuff like that but that sounds pretty cool
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but
[speaker002:] but anyway well I think we got our three minutes
[speaker001:] yeah hey well it's been good talking to you
[speaker002:] hey it was a pleasure talking to you too take care bye bye
[speaker001:] all right see you later bye bye
