The text has been translated terribly, but what is of great importance here is that کودکیاری has been translated to "childcare".

Collins Cobuild Dictionary, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (4th Ed), in the definitions to this term in these dictionaries it is written (Brit), which means that this term is used mainly in British English; This is while you mhave mentioned that you need an American English term.

As I mentioned earlier, it has been translated terribly; but when you compare the term and the definitions in the sources (dictionaries) I mentioned, you come to the conclusion that this term, not the whole text, has been translated correctly. Meanwhile, I have seen the Persion text too. This is all I could say.

If you notice my level of confidence, you'll find that I was not sure about my answer! Anyway, one word may have two or more equivalent in another language. I thought it would be the same as پرستاری کودک, so I used babysitting. If it conveys the meaning of کودک یاری, you don't need to use another translation for پرستاری کودک in case it has been used during the rest of the text.

Thank you Sir!
Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you! What do you think about "childminding"?

Asker: Thanks again for your time and explanation. Just one point: you didn't provide me with your valid reference to label the suggested word as "British" and "rarely used". By the way, I appreciate your linguistic meticulosity.

Asker: Thanks for your further explanation; but, how do you arrive at this conclusion that "childcare" in the textual example is the legitimate equivalent for كودكياري, given your own remark: "The text has been translated terribly"? Irrespective of the authenticity of the translation, have you seen the "Persian" source text? Is it Persian at all?

Asker: Thank you for the "label" references.

Asker: What you provided as explanatory information is helpful and, for sure, casts light upon the untrodden path to gain certitude over a/ the best choice in my translation, thank you very much.

agree  Edward Plaisance Jr: "childcare" is the commonly used word for the generic activity of watching children when they are not with their parents...see discussion

Asker: Thanks! what is your valid reference to support your equivalent?

Asker: Thank you for the ref.'s; but, how do you arrive at this conclusion that "baby care" is the/ an established equivalent for "كودكياري"? Those websites only indicate mentions of the suggested equivalent.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Abouzar Oraki: Babycare/babycare is an informal term, therefore this cannot be a proper equivalence to be used as a name for a major (which is formal).
