Just make that call and tell us about it. So simple.

* household employEES, that should say!

Also, for the insurance, while of course you need to call your own provider directly, you will likely need/want to add a worker's compensation whether licensing actually requires this or not, since household employers are usually not covered by standard homeowner's policies. For ours, we needed the worker's comp rider to cover the nanny, but the second child was covered as a guest. I'm sure it varies by insurance company, though (and some policies already cover worker's comp up to a certain number of hours for household employees, so you just need to supplement that accordingly).

Excellent. You should always verify directly with the source.

Just do it on your lunch break if you want to. It's almost noon.

Again I don't understand why you are being so hostile. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. I'm merely trying to understand what you are saying.

If you still don't understand the regulations, you may call them for further clarifications. I take it you're in Arlington?

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?

Where it says this: 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.

What did your insurance agent tell you? That the visiting child is covered under your policy? Or your child is covered in someone else's house, while you pay their nanny to take care of your child?

I will tell you the truth. The answer is: NO.

Why are you arguing with me? I'm not trying to pick a fight. I just want to know where in the regulations it states this. If you can point me out to the specific section that would be great. I'm sure many people here just want to understand what you are saying

For insurance, you need to speak directly with your own insurance agent. Only you can do that.
