I think Mary is looking for a very specific role, with specific parents and a specific type of child. Example: I am not interested in checking if a 3-year-old has cleaned correctly. Plus, she had a long list of strong demands and opinions that, while they may be ideal for some families, will likely be...

Frequently asked questions to find a daycare near you
What is child care?
The appearance of child care for one parent may differ from the other, so there is no single definition of child care. That being said, childcare is a professional service that involves caring for children and ensuring their safety and well-being. Some parents may need to hire a nanny to watch their young children while they work 40 hours a week, while some families just needtransportation after schooland be careful. Other families may only need to hire an occasional babysitter for the weekend.
How can I find someone close to me to take care of my children?
The first step is to describe what you would like in a candidate before beginning your child care search. Think about how much you're willing to pay, what level of experience you want them to have, if you want them to have any first aid certification, and if you need them to do extra tasks besides taking care of your children.
Once you've completed this, create a Care.com account and answer a few questions to find child care providers that meet your needs. You can then post a job that can be viewed by our large group of caregivers or search for child care providers on Care.com based on years of experience, hourly rate, availability, distance from your area, and more. Once you've selected your candidates, you can schedule interviews, check references, order additional background checks, and hire the nanny that best fits your family's needs.
What interview questions should I ask a babysitter near me?
You want to find a child care provider who gets along well with your children, but also follows many of the same parenting ideas that you do. Structure your questions around how your children behave in certain situations and what the provider believes is the best course of action. Finally, ask each provider about their previous experience with child care, references from other families close to you, and if they are certified in first aid and CPR. You can visit Care.comsecurity CenterLearn more.
How much does the daycare near me cost?
The average rate for child care services on Care.com as of January 2023 is $16.04 per hour. This fee will vary based on your location, the experience of the child care provider, and the number of children served. Other factors that may also influence the rate include the need for additional child care duties and any specialized care needs you may have, such as night care.
