Yes, and this is craziness!
We are both essential but luckily one of us works evenings so we dont need daytime childcare, just twice a week for 3 hours each time in the afternoon. We are making do with a babysitter but for people who need childcare who are essential this is crazy.

We are both considered essential too and I really don't know what we are going to do. Not dropping my daughter somewhere random- we were comfortable were she was (in home daycare) because there were only a handful still coming and we know everyone.

Guess one of us will not be going into work.

Do you think one of the in-home daycare workers would be willing to babysit her at your house? It would cost you more but at least you know she is in good hands.

OP here.

I've been wondering about something similar. The executive order loosens restrictions on "family and friend child care providers" so now they can watch up to 5 unrelated children in the provider's home. Can a small in-home daycare technically close down, but continue to operate on that basis?

Yes, I was thinking that an in home with an assistant could split into two little groups of say, 3-4 kids --one at the provider's home and one at the assistant's home, by age group.

I wish I could find something specific on that. There's guidance related to the executive order that covers everything except for that point.
