If this is correct, how do you get around the law?
It's one thing if you're caring for your employer's child in the employer's home, but once you bring in an unrelated child, and pay for it, the caregiver needs to get a home daycare license. Is everyone hoping not to get noticed, or what? |
They aren't illegal. Where is your source? |
I wondered about this originally as well, but I think the difference is that you are not working out of your own home, but from someone else's (one of the families you are working for). If you were to work with more than one family (not related to you), at YOUR home, then you would have to be licensed as a home daycare. |

No, nanny shares are not illegal. Especially if there are only two children in the share. But if you read above, even if there ARE two or more children, as long as they are in the nanny's home or the home of one of the children, it isn't a child care center. |
They are not illegal. |
Nanny shares are not illegal but if you are in Maryland it is illegal to operate without the care provider having a license from the state. You have to receive the same training and education as daycare providers, and the share home/homes must meet and pass all inspection standards (emergency, fire etc). Anyone, in Maryland, who tells you otherwise is misinformed. |

Where's a link for Maryland law about this? |
