In-Home Care

These caregivers often provide services in the children's homes as nannies or housekeepers.  Regulations for in-home caregivers are not regulated by the state but some states regulated nanny-placement agencies.  Many states require nannies that are financially compensated to undergo a criminal history check and/or child abuse and neglect clearance. 
The rational behind a in-home care provider is the home-like environment and the close personal attention that the familiar settings can provide.  This also allows the parents to relate to a single caregiver to ensure the health, safety, and happiness of their children are being satisfied.
