Both parents that are employed have become a
common setup in most families today. The society
has become open-minded with the need for mothers
to help provide for the family. Thus, proper
child-rearing has been a strong and primary
concern for working parents especially if
children have reached the school age. The
parents' responsibility is to find reputable
institutions or individuals which will provide
the proper childcare that the children
needs. Childcare may be an occasional or
everyday requirement, depending on situations of
parents and the age of children. Childcare may be
done in the home of the kids, in the home of the
childcare Caloundra provider or in an established
Caloundra childcare or day-care centre.

Australia has a mobile society. Extended families
more often than not live hours or days away from
each other, or if they do live close to each
other, grandma or grandpa may still be in the
workforce. Unlike 40 or 50 years ago, today's
parents are raising their children without much
help from extended families. More households have
both parents working or are headed by a single
parent who works. How do these households find
good Caloundra childcare?   One option is to run
a help wanted ad in the newspaper. This can be
costly and time consuming. In addition to paying
for the ad space in the paper, you will have to
answer questions about the job on the phone, read
through resumes and then interview potential
candidates.

Another option is asking friends to recommend a
childcare Caloundra provider to you. Or, you
could answer ads in the newspaper advertising
childcare Caloundra services. All of these
options require meeting with the prospective
provider, but you cannot be sure that they are
representing themselves truthfully unless you run
a background check, which will also cost you
money.   There is an easier, less costly, less
time consuming way to find Caloundra childcare.
Thanks to the internet, childcare services have
emerged to help solve the childcare problem.
Childcare services act as a clearinghouse where
childcare providers and families can connect.

Each childcare provider who signs up with the
service completes a profile which includes a
picture of the provider, availability, type of
care provided, experience with children, age,
location, gender and contact information. People
looking for childcare can browse the providers
and/or post their own profile.   Information can
be searched by zip code to locate providers who
serve a given area. It is free to search and
browse childcare providers, but the provider's
contact information will only be shown once the
person searching for childcare becomes a paying
member of the site. On becoming a paying member
of the online childcare service, families gain
access to provider contact information, can do
free background checks through the service, as
well as check the provider's references.
