* Family Childcare Home: This is a common arrangement where the mother provides care for her own children and a small number of other children in her home. It's often less expensive than formal daycare centers and offers a more home-like environment. Regulations regarding the number of children allowed and licensing requirements would vary depending on location.
* Self-Care: This simply refers to the mother providing all the care herself, without additional children. This is the most common arrangement for young mothers with preschoolers.
While other arrangements like nanny shares (multiple families sharing a nanny) are possible, they're less likely given the mother's stated preference for home care. A formal daycare center is less likely as it would require her to transport her children elsewhere.
