It is so frustrating because we need more males in caregiver roles. At least we are seeing more male nurses these days. No one bats an eyelash at that now. I think the stigma just has to be broken by more males just not giving a F&$!? And doing it anyway. Then we will all be fine with it!
I've seen 3 local child care providers close up shop. None of them willingly and 2 of them long time veterans.
Accusations are tossed out there and even if it's unfounded or proven to be false the ramifications here in the U.S aren't provider friendly at all.
Here, provider's are guilty until proven innocent and parents rarely remember anything but the accusation so the reputation of the provider is sadly never restored.
The fact that parents can actually sue for pretty much anything here makes accusations a fear for all.
