Family’s demands for paid care services at home in early childhood period

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the determining variables on families’ demand and the problems of paid care services in the early childhood period. The study is a descriptive study in scanning model. The study includes 218 families in its research group. The data is obtained via the survey the researcher has developed. Data analysis has been made using descriptive statistical methods. The main contributors to families’ paid care services demand are that both parents are working without anyone else to look after their children and their children being infants or toddlers. Trustworthiness comes out as a prominent characteristic that is looked for in a potential caregiver. It is preferred that the caregiver is known or been met beforehand by the hiring family.
