According to the description, the average rate is for individuals who "Attend to children at schools, businesses, PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS, and childcare institutions. Perform a variety of tasks, such as dressing, feeding, bathing, and overseeing play. Excludes 'Preschool Teachers, Except Special Education' (25-2011) and 'Teacher Assistants' (25-9041)."
