FAQs for finding in-home child care near you
What is in-home child care?
In-home child care refers to hiring a child care provider to come to your home to look after your children. Having in-home child care is extremely convenient because it eliminates the need to drop your children off at daycare and the caregiver can help provide other support around your home such as light housekeeping and cooking.
How much is in-home child care near me?
The cost of in-home child care can vary greatly based on where you live, the experience level of the child care provider, and how many children you require care for—as well as their ages. That being said, as of October, 2024, nationwide the average in-home child care rate per hour on Care.com is $18.82.
Is hiring in-home child care near me safe?
All families need to take precautions like interviewing in-home childcare candidates and running independent background checks to help ensure their child’s safety. All in-home childcare providers on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check known as a CareCheck. Providers who complete a CareCheck, have a badge on their profile that displays the date this background check was run. It’s important to remember this is just a jumping off point and that you need to take additional safety steps when considering childcare providers—like requesting references.
