[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why is it a bad thing to need a license and oversight?[/quote]
OP here: It’s not necessarily a bad thing if there is a need for oversight and it’s calibrated to the risk. But here I’m not convinced there is a need for the government to get involved where there are 2 private families paying for someone to take care of their kids. And even if we assume the government should be involved, Maryland hasn’t calibrated its involvement to the risk—the requirements imposed on nanny shares are the same for home daycare holding themselves out as businesses and caring for more children.[/quote]

Many nanny shares involve three children from two or three families.  Family daycares are licensed in the caregiver’s home, since the caregiver can’t control someone else’s home and whether they follow the licensing requirements.  Regardless of whether the nanny share is legal or illegal, your homeowners insurance will not cover the nonresident child if they get hurt on your property.[/quote]
