What is the difference between a babysitter, a childcare center and our in-home daycare?
FAQS:
A babysitter typically provides short-term childcare for a single family on an irregular schedule, usually in the child's own home, while an in-home daycare provider cares for multiple children from different families on a regular basis, often operating out of their own home; essentially, a babysitter is for occasional needs, while in-home daycare is for more consistent childcare with set days and hours.
FAQS:
Babysitters are often considered more expensive than daycare because they provide care in a child's home, which means they are essentially a "luxury" service compared to the more structured, group environment of a daycare where costs can be spread across multiple children; essentially, you're paying for flexibility with a babysitter, while daycare offers a more standardized childcare experience at a lower per-child cost due to economies of scale.
FAQS:
Our weekly highest rate $210 for an infant breaks down to $4.42 hourly
FAQS:
Being an in-home daycare, we have a smaller group size than a daycare center. This allows us to provide more individualized, one-on-one care for each child, ensuring they receive the attention and support need to thrive.
FAQS:
We have more than one caregiver so there is never "Sorry I can not watch your child" day. Which leaves parents/guardians scrambling to find someone for last minute childcare.
