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.

Which licensing programs?

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."

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?

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

Do you know the name of it?

Nanny shares are not illegal. Stop spreading false information.

Maybe where you live. Don't know.

Anyone know for a fact, where they are legal?

Laws governing in-home daycares generally prohibit nanny shares. Moreover, your homeowners insurance will not cover the paid care of an unrelated child in your home, unless you prove that your home, and the provider, are licensed. They don't want that risk.

Is this true?

I'm still waiting for one single person to post a reputable source proving that they are illegal. Because they aren't. I've posted multiple links showing that they are not illegal.

That doesn't matter. Show me a link where they're illegal anywhere.

It does matter, as you MIGHT be breaking the law. I doubt you care much about anyone else.

Pick any state. Show me proof that they're illegal in any city or 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.

Similar law for Arlington County, VA. If you provide paid care outside of CHILD'S OWN home, you must get an in-home childcare license.

You're doing an illegal share? You know your homeowner's insurance will not cover you in case of anything.
