I'm not sure how hard you tried but I've seen many sources for this when I was googling something else about nanny shares. Here's one that literally took me 2 seconds to find. If I was really trying I would find more but it's late and I'm tired and going to sleep.

Here's the link: http://web.gtm.com/blog/bid/220360/The-Legalities-of-Nanny-Sharing

Here is the sentence that's important: "In certain states, such as Maryland and Washington, families may be required to have a child care license if they care for a certain number of children inside their home."

What about licensing and insurance? In some states such as Maryland and Washington, when two or more families hire a nanny to care for non-related children at the same time, a state family child care license is required. You will want to check you state's requirements, and the host family definitely needs to have a frank conversation with their insurance agent about liability (worker's compensation, claims by the non-host family, transportation liability).

You have to undergo the procedures for the family child care provider, and the host family must meet the requirements that a in home daycare usually needs. Particularly fire and emergency requirements, safe sleep areas, etc. GO to the Maryland State Child Care Licensing Branch for more information.


Also California and Washington has the same law. I am not sure about any others.

This. In Maryland, the nanny would be operating an illegal home daycare service if she's being paid to provide care for a child, outside of that child's home. The homeowner would legally be held responsible.

VA laws are less restrictive.

Yep, I'm a share nanny in MD and I keep this as my ace in the hole, if my employers ever get out of line.

Same here! I had an employer threaten to sue me over "breach of contract" when I quit because my check was late for the fourth time. I laughed, showed her a print out of the law, and told her she was welcome to try. I'd enjoy watching it all blow up in her face.

First, that's a blog. Hardly a reputable source.
Second, regarding the part in bold, I'm not sure it means the same as people are implying on this board.

Besides, this original post was questioning whether ALL nanny shares are illegal. They clearly aren't. I posted a link on the very first page of this thread proving that they aren't. In some states you might need more paperwork, but they still aren't illegal.

Depends on your location, 17:26. Which town are you in?

You need a new ace, cupcake. You, as the caregiver, are breaking the law.

And every court knows that you as the employer, are the one who will pay any due penalties, so don't be so foolish.

The whole set up is illegal, so their hands are dirty too. Most people aren't willing to take themselves down with me, they with so much more to lose than me, so my ace is just fine, pumpkin.

I'm in a city, not a town, and I don't live or work in Maryland.

Fwiw, thought I would add my two cents.

In maryland, nanny shares are against the law. That said, I have never met a family or nanny that has been prosecuted for this. In my humble opinion, It's really a safeguard to fall back on in case someone was worried about the conditions in which their children r being cared for.

It is true however that local schools such as Montgomery College should increase the capacity of their licensing programs. The need is greater than what is being met by the classes.
