Care.com Unveils Best States to be a Babysitter or Nanny

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--While a great deal of attention is understandably focused on the challenges of American families to find and afford quality child care, we seldom discuss the very child care providers upon whom families depend and how the economics of care impact them as well. Today, Care.com (NYSE: CRCM, www.care.com), the world’s largest online destination for finding and managing family care, released the findings from its first ever Babysitter and Nanny Survey, conducted to better understand the day-to-day reality for in-home child care workers and the impact we will all potentially face if we cannot retain and attract more caregivers to this critically important work. The survey asked babysitters and nannies about their skills, wages, and career paths, and dug into Care.com member data to determine the most opportunistic states to be a babysitter or nanny.
