Petition Employ child minders as govt workers. Make all child care free from birth.

Employing all child minders as government workers would allow the govt to free up funds being allocated to child benefit and funds for parents who cant work due to child care issues. Allowing the govt to pay child minders directly would generate income tax from minders and the newly working parents.

More details

Parents who genuinely want to work will embrace any help given towards caring for the child while at work, gaining income tax
Parents who are currently working and paying for childcare would also have a better quality of life once that cost is directly funded by the govt, gaining income tax
A single mom on benefit will now get 25k per house hold and doesnt have to pay for commuting to work nor childcare.
A single mom who teaches at high school get 22k per year and no financial help. Why work?
