Home-Based Child Carers
2024-12-09
The Government encourage childbirth, expanding infant care and preschool child care services, as well as increasing the incentives for home-based child carers. The Neighbourhood Support Child Care Project, which includes the home-based child carer service, has been running for over a decade. Originally, it aimed to provide temporary child care for dual-income parents through neighbourhood mutual aid while also offering local homemakers or retirees an opportunity to work and earn subsidies, creating a win-win situation. However, does the volunteer-based model of home-based child carers meet the current societal expectations for child care?
