Childcare roles
It is traditional in western society for children to be looked after by one or both of their parents. In many families, the childcare role is taken on by the extended family. One of the challenges for parents who choose to use other sources of childcare is finding and affording qualified providers.

The need or preference for two-job households means that childcare is often delegated to childminders or crèches on a full-time or part-time basis. An option that often keeps children in a home setting is the use of a nanny or an au pair.

Day Care
Day care or child care is care of a child during the day by a person other than the child's legal guardians, typically performed by someone outside the child's immediate family.

Day care is typically an ongoing service during specific periods, such as the parents' time at work. The service is known as child care in the United Kingdom and Australia and day care in North America (although child care also has a broader meaning).
