Khulood has been a child care provider for over 28 years. Khulood is passionate about advocating for equity of pay and benefits for home-based providers due to the important role they play in supporting our economy.
"We need [policymakers] to pay attention to us. We are making the United States economy better. We, the early childhood educators, make it possible for all parents, moms and dads, to go to work. Can you imagine if all of us went on a strike for a week? Like any other job, we deserve paid vacations. We deserve health insurance. We deserved a retirement fund."
