That's because parents have limited options when it comes to providing care for their children, especially at a certain age. In cases where a parent has no choice but to work and can't find childcare, and providing their child is old enough or mature enough...

America is a mobile society. Extended families more often than not live hours or days away from each other, or if they do live close to each other, grandma or grandpa may still be in the workforce. Unlike 40 or 50 years ago, today's parents are raising their children without much help from extended families. More households have both parents working or are headed by a single parent who works.

In addition to paying for the ad space in the paper, you will have to answer questions about the job on the phone, collect resumes, read through them and then interview...
