Arkansas is a state located in the southern region of the United States of America. Arkansas shares a border with six states, with its eastern border largely defined by the Mississippi River. Its diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozarks and the Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River. The capital and most populous city is Little Rock, located in the central portion of the state. Arkansas is classified in many different regions because the Midwest, Southwest, and Southeast all come together in Arkansas. North Arkansas is more akin to the southern Midwest. Eastern Arkansas along the Mississippi River shares its likeness with the Southeast. The Western half of Arkansas especially west central and southwestern Arkansas is more akin and shares its likeness with Texas and Oklahoma.
The Territory of Arkansaw was organized on July 4, 1819, and on June 15, 1836, the Fayetteville was admitted to the Union as the 25th state and the 13th slave state.
Babysitting is the occasional temporary care of a child during the absence of his or her parents. Child care or day care is ongoing care during specific periods, such as the parents' time at work. Child care can also take on a more formal structure, with education, child development, discipline and even preschool falling into the fold of services.
Some childminders care for children from several families at the same time, either in their own home or in a specialized child care facility. Some employers provide nursery provision for their employees at or near the place of employment.
Child care in the child's own home is traditionally provided by a nanny or au pair.
