[ID] 811 [Interest Areas] Community Organizer Concerned Citizen Nonprofit Organization [Comment] I see to many women worrying about going back to work and how they will juggle pumping, working, and taking care of new baby not to mention finding quality daycare for a newborn. I think we need to look at how other countries help families take care of there youngest citizen. I am not asking for a nanny, but maybe a longer paid maternity leave. Full pay for 8 weeks. 75 % pay for the next 2 months, 50% pay for the next 4 months 25 % until the baby is a year . One of two things will happen families will learn that they can live on less and parents will be raising there children. We will have older babies going into daycare. (As former daycare provider I can tell you that the older a babies is the easier on everyone) or families will see they really need a job and go back to work before the 6 months. We are spending this money already between daycare assistance and medicaid. Why not let the person best equipped for the job do the job and give her a little money to make it work. [Topic]
