Childcare, child care, or babycare is the act of caring for and supervising children usually from 0–8 years of age. (In the UK and Australia, day care is referred to as "childcare".) In the United States child care is increasingly referred to as early childhood education due to the understanding of the impact of early experiences of the developing child.

Child care is a broad topic covering a wide spectrum of contexts, activities, social and cultural conventions, and institutions.

How much should I cahrge for regular overnight child care?
Q. I watch a two year old boy about 35 hours per weeks for $150 in Denver, CO. This is an excellent price. Most in-home child care providers charge $8-$15/hour here. I am child CPR certified. However I do not need a license to watch one child, so I do not have one. After we move into a larger house (in 2 months) I am setting up for child care and will obtain a license at that time in order to watch another child. My question is this... The boy I watch needs care as early as 2 am, and sometimes overnight. NO child care centers even have the option to leave your child overnight, so what should I be charging for that time? Should I do an hourly rate of $5/hour for regualar hours & $7/hour for night? This is for parent who make 90K per year.… [cont.]
