(5) Non-institutional Social Services (864), Private Households (974) and Other Personal and Household Services (979): Figures for these three industries are affected by changes in the instructions given to coders for the coding of "babysitters".

In 1986 and 1991, the instructions read:

  • Babysitters who perform this task in their own home are coded to 979 - Other Personal and Household Services.
  • Babysitters who perform childcare in another person's home (including live-in babysitters) are coded to 974 - Private Households.
  • Babysitters who are employed by an agency are coded to 864 - Non-institutional Social Services.

In 1996, the instructions read:

  • Babysitters who babysit in another person's home are coded to 979 - Other Personal and Household Services (e.g. this code would include teenagers doing babysitting for neighbours).
  • Babysitters who take children into their own home are coded to 864 - Non-institutional Social Services.

Exceptions:

  • Live-in babysitters/nannies who perform childcare in another person's home are coded to 974 - Private Households.
  • Babysitters who are employed by an agency (whether or not they work in their own home) are coded to 979 - Other Personal and Household Services.

These instructions differ significantly. Only the live-in babysitters/nannies would receive the same code in 1991 and 1996. Not surprisingly, the Census estimates in 1996 show an enormous increase in Group 979 - Other Personal and Household Services, n.e.c. (which now includes teenage babysitters). In addition, there is a decline in Group 974 - Private Households (where these respondents would have been coded previously). The increase in Group 864 - Non-institutional Social Services is, in part, due to these revised instructions.
