24 hour child care can refer to drop-in child care centers that are open 24 hours a day, but more commonly it refers to hiring a caretaker for 24 hours. This type of child care can really come in handy when a couple wants to get away for the weekend, the primary caregiver has to travel for work, or when one parent or guardian is in the hospital. A 24 hour child care provider can make sure your child is fed and looked after, as well as gets to school on time and finishes their homework.
The rate of 24 hour child care can vary and understandably since you require so many hours of care, you’re likely keeping budget top of mind. The average hourly rate for 24 hour child care on Care.com is $21.25, but this rate can vary significantly depending on where you live and how much experience the caregiver has.
