我已幫女兒報了daycare,但他們說沒有空位，要我等他們的電話通知。我想問他們：
1，我究竟要等多久，能給我一個大概的時間嗎？例如，1個月，半年，一年。。。？
2，在我前面究竟有多少人輪候？好讓我能估計要等的大概時間？
我想請教各位大蝦我的2個問題如何用英語表達清楚，謝謝指教！

1. How long do I have to wait, could you please give me an approximate date?
2. How many people in front of me? so i can approximate the number of days.

Oh, I just heard something about this from a friend yesterday.
She told me her family has to pay about 10 thousand dollar on baby-sitter per year.
That really suprised me.  How can the parents afford it!!??
