Nurses and nursery teachers take care of children who are recovering from illness in a nursery room attached to a nursery school.
This is a business in which the caregiver temporarily takes care of a child during the period when it is difficult to raise a child at home due to socially unavoidable circumstances such as work reasons, accidents, childbirth, and ceremonial occasions.
