Even forms of childcare are problematic as a working parent, because they all tend to end by about 3pm - school, day camp, daycare etc.

Meanwhile in my wife’s native country anyone with a job can afford a full time nanny. Sadly this is because people are living in near poverty, but a nanny in the US is a $70k/year or more scenario. So I am tempted to move and participate in the broken system and make myself feel better by overpaying 100%.

Childcare is extremely expensive in this country. One good option I've seen is people hiring an au pair. The kids might be able to become bilingual and a young person gets a great experience living in a new place. Nanny shares can also be a great option.
