Childcare is one of the most important things in a parent’s toolbox. Without it sanity is at risk. Unfortunately, in the United States there is an ongoing childcare crisis. No matter their socio-economic status, all parents in this country struggle to find the childcare that works best for them. This is so important to discuss, so I am sharing a conversation I had with journalist Gloria Riviera about this and her research. Gloria has spent 20+ years as an ABC News producer and correspondent based around the world covering breaking, investigative and feature stories for the network's flagship broadcasts and social media platforms -- including Good Morning America, World News Tonight, Nightline & the daily news podcast “Start Here.” We discussed what the crisis looks like today, how we got here and what we as citizens of this country can do to help.

To hear more about Gloria’s discoveries on the childcare crisis check out her podcast from Lemonada Media called NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US. This poignant and timely four-part series shines a spotlight on America’s childcare crisis, sharing diverse stories of families, providers and childcare workers.
