Parents are dealing with higher childcare costs on top of more expensive groceries and gas.
As they prepare to return to the office, parents are struggling with one more rising cost on top of groceries and gas: childcare.
The average price to send one child to a childcare center in 2021 rose 5% to $226 per week, up from $215 in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an annual survey by Care.com, an online platform for finding family care.
Meanwhile, it cost $694 per week for a nanny in 2021, up 23% from $565 per week in 2019, while average national weekly babysitter rates were $261 last year, up 7% from pre-pandemic, the survey, released Wednesday, found.
“When it comes to childcare, there are three critical criteria — cost, quality and availability — and based on our research findings, we’ve not only failed to make progress as a country, we’ve actually gone backwards,” said Natalie Mayslich, president of the consumer side of Care.com.
Some places are more expensive than others. Washington D.C. is the most expensive area for childcare or a nanny — on average, it costs $419 per week for care at a childcare center, and $855 for a nanny — that’s 85% and 23% respectively above the national average.
Washington state and Massachusetts are among the most expensive states for childcare. It costs at least $300 per week for a childcare center for one child, and $830 per week for a nanny for one child in those two states.

well when the layoffs start cranking up, child care will cease to be a problem.
feeding the family and keeping a roof over their head will become the challenge.
but duly noted.
inflation makes EVERYTHING more expensive. literally everything.

Key Takeaways:
Today, President Trump is visiting Texas to tour an oil rig and showcase how the U.S. is achieving energy dominance
While President Trump has helped make America an energy super-power, Biden's radical energy policies would kill jobs and leave the U.S. at the mercy of foreign energy producers
Biden has made clear – he wants to "end" fossil fuels, saying they would have "no place" in a Biden presidency
Biden has said he would "love to make sure we can't use any oil or gas, period" and that he would "make sure" fossil fuels and fracking are "eliminated"
In March, Biden said he would ban any new fracking or future oil and gas development on federal lands
Biden openly admits he would "sacrifice" "hundreds of thousands" of blue-collar energy jobs in pursuit of his anti-energy agenda
Over 10.3 million American jobs are supported by the oil and gas industry
Biden's plan to ban new energy development on federal lands alone would threaten an estimated 268,000 jobs
Biden has proposed completely eliminating oil, gas, and coal from the U.S. power grid by 2035
Prior estimates show eliminating oil, gas, and coal from the U.S. energy grid would cost anywhere from $4.5 trillion to $5.7 trillion, with an average cost of $35,000 per household

BIDEN HAS PLEDGED THAT FOSSIL FUELS AND FRACKING WOULD BE "ELIMINATED" IF HE IS PRESIDENT
In July 2019, Biden Said That There Would Be No Place For Fossil Fuels And Fracking In A Biden Administration, Saying "We Would Make Sure It's Eliminated." DANA BASH: "Just to clarify, would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking, in a Biden administration?" JOE BIDEN: "No, we would -- we would work it out. We would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those, either -- any fossil fuel." (Joe Biden, Remarks At A Democratic Presidential Primary Debate, Detroit, MI, 7/31/19)

There’s a famous saying that ’the cure for high prices is high prices,’ but when it comes to gasoline, that may not necessarily be the case.
Experts are torn on when or even if drivers might see significant "demand destruction" — an economics term for a sustained decline in demand for a product due to excessively high prices — at the pumps.
In theory, reaching an unsustainable price would serve as a tipping point and ultimately cause fuel prices to fall, finally offering drivers some relief. But analysts say we’re not there yet even though gas prices are hovering around all−time highs.
"Canada’s gas prices are at inflation−adjusted records. But I continue to be astonished at the high level of demand we’re seeing," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for the fuel price tracking service GasBuddy.com.
Gasoline prices have been rising since February, ever since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent shock waves through international energy markets.
