[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is insane.  Maryland has very tight restrictions on informal child care arrangements, so it's not like you can hire a babysitter for a month.  What do they expect people to do that need to work and have children?  Do they really think its a good idea to force all of these people to send their kids to interact with a bunch of other kids that are at high-risk to contract COVID?

All I want to do is a hire a babysitter/nanny to watch my kids in his/her own home until this passes.[/quote]

What MD law precludes you from hiring a babysitter for a month?[/quote]

If you're: 1) bringing your kids to another location, 2) paying the provider, and 3) have regular care and/or more than 20 hours/month, then the provider falls under the child care licensing regulations (as opposed to the "informal" care allowances for babysitters).

If the sitter comes to you, then you've just hired a nanny, which is fine, except that then you're supposed to treat them like an employee and pay workers comp and FICA.[/quote]
