The government is stepping in to help families that need emergency babysitters for children from about three months to 12 years old. The government will also offer trained low-cost babysitters and will take care of the kids at home or at school when parents are faced with emergency situations like work, business trips, and illness or family problems. Babysitting service would be available from 38 Healthy Family Support Centers nationwide starting in the middle of this month said by The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. The base fee for low-income households with a monthly income less than W1.56 million and four family members will be W 1,000 per hour and nighttime babysitters will cost W 6,000 per hour. When the babysitters are needed for more than two hours at a time, the hourly rate is reduced to W 4,000. The service will be accessible only to families with children from three months to 12 years old. Parents can also apply at the Healthy Family Support Centers and the service will be constrained to only 80 hours a month.
