Abstract | In an effort to explain the high turnover rate among family day care (FDC) providers, a study of the effects of perceived social support, job satisfaction, and the establishment of boundaries between a family day care provider's nuclear family and her FDC system was conducted. Analysis of data gathered from a mail survey of over 300 currently and formerly registered FDC providers in Delaware suggested that nonstable providers were more likely than stable providers to have their own young children at home. Data also suggested that stable providers were more likely to have clear boundaries between their nuclear families and their FDC systems, work longer hours, and have previously held child-related jobs. Stable providers reported higher levels of overall job satisfaction than did nonstable providers. Data from a 6-month longitudinal study of 24 FDC providers during their first 6 months after FDC registration with the state of Delaware provided illustrations of the ways some providers established boundaries between their nuclear families and FDC systems and insights into factors influencing FDC providers' job stability.
