Gina’s story: Supporting her community, supported by Pie for Providers
Gina is an experienced child care provider who is very active in her community of Columbus, Nebraska. She’s been caring for children she started babysitting at age 13, and has been running a child care business out of her home for decades. She’s also the president of The Columbus Childcare Association, where she leads a community of childcare providers. Gina knows how important it is to provide quality care for all families, and that’s why she has been supporting families receiving the child care subsidy throughout her entire career. “Accepting the subsidy means helping families out, especially single parents. We’re here to help people.”
“With Pie for Providers you don’t have to worry about [subsidy billing] because you’re so busy … It finally went out of my mind.”
Her challenges
Despite her decades of experience, managing the child care subsidy is still difficult. It’s a lot of paperwork, and that paperwork has consequences. “If the paperwork doesn’t get done … sometimes you’re a month behind getting paid.” Providers have to do hours of manual calculations by hand, every single month, just to get paid for the care they’ve already provided. Providers also have to keep track of the families’ paperwork too, ensuring the subsidy doesn’t expire, that the co-pay is paid on time, and that the family is still eligible to receive this benefit. Pie for Providers helps with these challenges.
