Welcome to Childcare, WTF -- a podcast breaking down all the BS surrounding the childcare world, with none of the mom-group-parent shaming. A place for real, funny, supportive, helpful conversations, with a lot of swear words thrown in.
Hosted by Tori Ulrich, long-time owner of Chicago Super Sitters - one of the top childcare agencies in Chicago, and Eric Burgher, a new-ish dad who is navigating parenthood and childcare in real time. Together they will discuss how parenting is hard, kids are hard, and childcare everything is HARD. Things like - what childcare do you need, where to find it, how to keep it, how to work in it, how to interact with it once you have found it, how much should it cost, and on and on.
This is NOT a 'HOW to be a parent' podcast (who the hell are we to say whats best for your fam?) We will not be bringing in any "parenting experts" or snooty anybodys that will make you feel badly about yourself as a parent (WTF is up with these people?).
BUT, we will make a small part of parenting easier by sharing helpful childcare info, inside-the-agency-scoops, ridiculous stories, and lots of real, actionable tips (actual tips, not have your kid smell a mason jar with lavender to calm them down during a tantrum, tips). We give you a place to ask your WTF questions, and we'll do our very best to give you some good f'ing answers.
As in YES, you nanny/sitter is human and does need to eat during their 8 hour shift at your house. Or NO, you can't pay your babysitter less if your kid is sleeping. Or YES, male sitters/nannies are absolutely a real option and are totally appropriate.
We can't solve all the childcare problems with this podcast (yet) but we can get a good head start on the WTF stuff now. Join us!
