Many young people today choose between working as babysitters or still needing babysitting themselves. This change in norms presents financial challenges for parents.
Previous generations of pre-teens often took on the role of babysitter or managed on their own as latchkey kids. Yet, members of Gen X who grew up this way now find themselves employing child care services for their children.
During their youth, Gen X experienced a largely unsupervised environment after school. This experience has influenced their perspective as parents. For these parents, child care is now deemed necessary, not only for toddlers but extending into teenage years.
