I am a private nanny. Am I eligible to have my salary reimbursed by this program?
No. Y ou must be either a licensed or registered child care provider to be paid by the state. Unless you are registered or licensed by the department, you cannot be reimbursed for providing care.
To become licensed or registered with ECECD, prospective child care providers must complete required paperwork, background checks, and health and safety inspections of the child care premises. Interested individuals can find detailed guidance on the ECECD website at https://www.nmececd.org/child-care-licensing-and-registered-homes/ .
