A home daycare is defined as (regularly scheduled) care for any children (unrelated to you) in your home.  The number is specified only to distinguish between small (up to 6) and large (6-12) home daycares.  If you are in the child’s home, you’re fine.

DC has exemptions built in for nanny shares and occasional (not regularly scheduled) babysitting in your home.[/quote]
Where is the DC nanny share exemption? I’m not finding it.[/quote]

Second link:

“ If you do not meet any of the exempted categories below, then you need to apply for a license. [b]The exemptions are:[/b]

Occasional babysitting in a babysitter’s home or a child’s home for the children of one family;
Care provided in a child’s home by a caregiver paid for by a child’s family;
[b]Care provided for more than one child in a Nanny-Share, as defined in this chapter;”[/b]

But since the first link says that childcare in the childcare provider’s home is a home daycare, it needs to be licensed.[/quote]

Does the homeowner’s insurance cover the visiting child in case of accident? Obviously not. This is what would concern me. The resident child is covered, the caregiver employee is covered, but NOT the visiting child.[/quote]
