    As an Early Childhood Educator, that sounds terrifying. You need trained professionals not random old people.

    It’s not simply “taking care of kids”, it’s “educating children”. These are their most formative years, where they will learn more than the rest of their life combined. It should not be squandered by substandard education.

        And their skills are probably 50 years out of date. It does not work, it is not a solution.

        Just pay educators a decent wage that they can afford to work in the industry and provide care for the elderly. They can be separate solutions.
