Live-out Babysitter segment is expected to dominate the market

Hence it is often opted by parents to choose part-time services babysitting. Live-out babysitters visit a family for a limited period during the week, primarily only when an individual needs a sitter to take care of a child instead of living in the individual’s home. This service is a suitable substitute for hiring a live-in babysitter.
Therefore, it has become an ideal solution to keep up with a child’s routine at home rather than in any daycare center. A live-out babysitter also provides emotional, social and intellectual support to the children and takes care of a child’s play, companionship, activities, meals, and clothing needs. They can also help an individual with the upkeep of a home. Thus, as a live-out babysitter provides a consistent source of one-on-one childcare for children, the segment will grow rapidly over the forecast period.
The demand in North America is expected to witness significant growth

The expenses for daycare and childcare services in the U.S. are very high. According to the Harvard Business Review, 57% of working families spend more than USD 10,000 on daycare in the United States.

According to single-parent statistics, approximately 11 million single parents were reported in 2022, of which 80% are single-parent families with mothers. Single mothers find it difficult to provide the required attention to their children. Thus, they rely on babysitters or daycare centers for their well-being.

In China and India, families are becoming nuclear while people have become mobile and societies have become urban.
