Here's the Arlington County legal requirements for in-home childcare providers:

Page One says:
A "Family Day Care Home is a private family home where nine or fewer children are received, for a fee, for the care, protection and guidance during only part of the 24 hour day, except children, who are related by blood, adoption or marriage to the person who maintains the home." I asked their office specifically about nanny shares. They said it's illegal, subject to penalties, unless she is licensed in her own home. This is not good news, as many here, believed otherwise. |
It also says that family day cares with less than four children are not required to be licensed so long as the daycare follows the rules outlined. So as long as the nanny share is in compliance with the regulations, no license is required. |
What regulations? |
These. http://arlingtonva.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2014/02/file672361.pdf Please see section 59-18 |
You should read the entire document detailing each and every regulation. It appears to me you have not done so, with full comprehension. |
This thread is a great example of why nannies shouldn't pretend to be lawyers. |
...nor should lawyers pretend to be honest. |
Not PP but I read the entire document and its very clear. A nanny share with less than 4 children can operate legally as an unlicensed daycare. However all the other requirements must be met including the nanny having a first aid certificate etc. It seems like you have low comprehension skills. |
Because of these confusion, I asked them myself. They said, "Nanny shares are illegal in Arlington." You are welcome to ask them yourself, to underderstand Arlington law. |
*this, not these |
You're allowed to care for less than four children, ONLY if the home is yours. YOU, the homeowner, would have to be the nanny caregiver.
You're NOT allowed to hire out the care of an unrelated child, to an employee who comes to your home. And you CERTAINLY have no insurance to cover the child who doesn't live there. Now do we all understand? |
Np here. Do you mind telling me where in the regulations it states this? I read the link on this thread and I reached the conclusion that pp reached. I'd really appreciate it if you can explain it further so that I get where you are coming from. I'm not looking to argue with you. Just trying to understand. Thanks |
Which detail are you confused about? |
Is anyone else confused about the Arlington laws regarding the question of nanny shares? |
