Who needs 24-hour childcare?  When we think of child care, we think many things, but usually we think of a standard child care situation for parents who work 9-5 jobs... but who takes care of the children of the people who work around the clock? People like Deloris and Patrick Hogan, who have been childcare providers since 1985, operating a 24 hour daycare out of their home. In this episode, Diana talks to Loira Limbal, the filmmaker behind the documentary titled "Through the Night" which tells the story of Dee's Tots, a 24 hour home based daycare. Dee's Tots is owned by Deloris and Patrick, affectionately known as Nunu and Pop Pop, who also join Diana in this episode.  We talk about: the cost of child care  essential workers and who is taking care of their children  what legislators need to do to help working families  the importance of a male figure who is a caregiver  why workers need a living wage, and access to health care  what child care providers need in order to be able to provide good care what the government should be doing to help working families who needs to be at the table in discussing child care  men as caregivers  breaking stereotypes of who can be a nurturing caregiver.  AND MORE!
