What Is Home Child Care

Choosing A Child Care Provider

Child Care Aware, a partnership for quality child care, recommends five steps to finding quality care.

Look: Do the caregivers enjoy talking and playing with children? Do they talk with each child at the child’s eye level?

Listen: What does the setting sound like? Is it calm? Dull? Loud? Do the children sound happy? Involved? What about the caregiver’s voices? Are they cheerful? Patient?

Count: How many children are in the caregivers? Care? The fewer children, the more attention your child will receive.

Ask: What experience or training do the caregivers have? Quality caregivers will be happy to answer your questions.

Be Informed: At Sachse Child Care, I welcome your questions. Stop in, watch me in action, ask questions and be informed.

Why Choose Me?

I provide an educational, clean, loving environment where your child can grow and learn. I try to work with parents to have a flexible program that would best accommodate your needs. I do my best to make sure that each child feels as though they are in a home environment. Unlike many centers, I feel that children need lots of nurturing which includes generous amounts of hugs and kisses. If given appropriate notice I will (if available) work during evening hours so that overtime commitments are able to be met by parents.

Childcare provider:
A professional childcare server who contracts with a client
to hold one slot out of a limited number of available slots exclusively for your child,
with a pre- determined set of hours, for a pre-determined fee per year.
Installments of this fee are usually paid on a weekly/bi-weekly/or on a monthly basis.
This usually includes a provider who is certified in first aid and CPR.
Takes classes, workshop, and attends seminars and conference to stay current on the latest techniques in dealing with age appropriate development of the children in their care.
In most states these Providers have usually undergone criminal back ground checks of themselves and all members over 18 residing in their home.
They are required to have regular medical checkups for all personnel in the daycare home.
The provider’s home undergoes inspections by their licensing agency and regular inspections from the state fire marshal.

Baby-sitter:
A person who usually watches a child in the parents’ home on an irregular basis,
is not guaranteed to be there for the parent on a regular basis,
is rarely trained in basic life support or first aid, and usually does not provide age appropriate activities for the children in their care,
and is not limited in the amount of children they may have in their care at any one time.
~~~~~~~~~~
Nanny:
A person hired by one family to provide care for their children on a regular basis in the child's home.
As this person is an employee of the parents, it is usually up to the parents to require and pay for a criminal back ground check if they so desire.
They do not have any kind of inspections by state agencies as they are the employee of the parents working in a private home.
