In Australia being a child care worker is one of the lowest paid jobs you can do - about half the average annual wage - even though many of them have studied for years to earn diplomas.
People complain about the cost of child care, but you have to remember that "expensive" service is still shafting the people who provide it... they deserve better...
I know people at my childcare place that are paying a few dollars a day - the rest subsidised by the govt - while the rest of us "genuinely working" schmucks have to pay the full $60/day rate. Australia has a rebate which was recently increased from 30% to 50%, so you get back half the cash you've paid as a non means tested rebate each quarter. Tax payer funded, of course.
