The Approved Relative provider may not operate an additional business on the premises during the hours established for providing child care services, if customers of the additional business would have access to the child care facility or would interrupt the supervision of children in care. 6.

The In-home caregiver may bring their own child(ren) to the family’s home if there will be no more than a total of five (5) children (family and caregiver’s children combined) younger than thirteen (13) years of age and with the written permission of the family. All children of the family and the caregiver are counted even if not all the children are present at the same time.
