Childcare is also known by several other names including preschool, daycare, child minding, or child care. Child care refers to the process of providing care and supervision of children, normally from the age of one and a half months to 13 years. This process can be done by babysitters, daycare centers, or other kinds of care providers. In Fishing Creek childcare has become a profession that employs many people and allows parents to take care of other kinds of businesses.

Child minding may sound like a shallow term but it covers a wide range of contexts, activities, cultural conventions, institutions, and social conventions. There are a few types of child care facilities in existence including family child care/licensed home day care, in-home care, center-based care, and informal care. Responsibility for children is traditionally taken up by legal guardians or parents.

In western societies, working parents are normally left with two options of how to care for their children. The two options are either leaving the child in home-based care or center-based care. In some situations, it is possible for the extended family to provide care. If the option of legal guardians, parents, or extended family is not available, the child usually remains in orphanages or foster homes.

The other name for licensed home day care is family child care. This kind of care is rendered inside the home of the care provider. These providers care for a small number of children and they offer the same levels of security and commercial centers. They are advantageous in that they offer lower costs, cultural compatibility, flexibility in hours, and ease of accessibility.

Home-based care providers are capable of providing the most individualized care to children. Thus, they are the best option for meeting the needs of working families. This form of care is usually the most affordable childcare option for most parents. The smaller number of children in care in the facility often allows for more interaction between the provider and the kid when compared to commercial care centers.

In-home care is another kind of child minding. In this case, friends, nannies, au pairs, or family members offer the necessary care. The caregiver may provide care in the house of the child or at their own place. Therefore, there is limited exposure to diseases and children from outside. As a result of close interaction between the caregiver and the child, the two develop and very close bond.

In-home care is not regulated by the government, which implies that the caregiver does not have to be licensed. Also, there are no background checks run on the caregiver to ascertain their suitability for the job. As such, it is upon the parent of the child to select the right caregiver. The cost per child of this form of care is the highest.

There are au pair and nanny services that provide people with caregivers who are certified. The nannies have some training in childcare. Thus, they understand how to provide a safe and stimulating setting for the well-being of the child. Nannies may also help with household activities like doing laundry, cleaning the house, shopping, and fixing meals.
