I am registered with the state if MI--which means up to 6 kids at a time. I have 13 currently enrolled. I have done child care for about 20 years,(with a small break when we adopted 2 of out kids) but just got registered again last year. I have always enjoyed working with children, and got a BS in psych with an early childhood emphasis I thought I was actually going to go out and get a job once I stopped homeschooling my kids--but once you have a reputation/name people just seem to find you, and so I was back into it!

I'm in Ohio, and can run a perfectly *legal* home daycare as long as I keep to a max of #6 children at a time, without the hassle of becoming registered. My county will register, but does not license home daycares.
I currently have 7 children on my roster, but a few are part-time and share spots - but never over-lap.
Previously to living here, I was licensed as a home daycare in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
I'm now in my 23rd year of operating my daycare business. I have degrees in Child Development and Nutrition Education. I always thought that I would only "do daycare" until my own children started school - - they're both in college now and I'm still here

I am not registered or licensed in my state & I am not required to do so.
I care for 1 child full-time, 1 part-time & 1 on a B & A school basis. They are all from the same family. I have 3 children of my own, two of whom are in school most of the day. I only plan on providing care until my youngest begins K which won't be for about 2 1/2 years. When I saw the list of requirements for my state & was also told that it was legal to provide daycare without being licensed or registered in my state I thought it would be too much of a hassle. I have a degree in English & my DCM has told me she is glad my kids are here with me b/c her past provider did not always use proper grammar when she was speaking.

I am licensed by the Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing. As of right now I have an 8 month old boy, a 1 year-old girl, two 2 year-old boys, a 4 year old girl and my 5 year old daughter.
I've been doing this for almost four years now so I still consider myself a newbie at some things
I decided to do daycare because I like caring for kids and watching their growth process. I had wanted to teach pre-school but the politics in it was awful and I didn't want to have to pass every decision I made by a boss first. Daycare was also a way for me to stay at home with my daughter and have a regular schedule and freedom to spend time with my family.Comment

I am in the process of becoming listed with the state of Texas. Currently, I do not have to be listed b/c I care for relatives (my nephew & 2 nieces). However, in the fall I will not be watching them so in the process of becoming listed (which means I can watch 3 that are not relatives).

I am a registered family home in MI which means up to 6 unrelated children under the age of 7. However due to ratios rules I can only have 5 as my daugther counts as one spot until she is 7. I recieved my license this month. I have one enrolled thats full time and hope to have a few more before the end of the month. I have worked with kiddos most of my life and I have an Elementery Ed degree.Comment

Licensed vs registered
For the Michigan folks, when you say registered, is that the same as licensed?Comment

I am not from Michigan, but when I was in KS it was different. Registered the state only came to your home if there was a complaint, and you could keep less children. Licensed they came in yearly and still if there was a complaint and you could have 4 more children (depending on age groups). Hopefully someone from Michigan will be here soon to say the differences there.Comment

...except you didn't answer their question.
You told them about your experience in Kansas. :confused:
You can find information about the regulations, including definitions in regards to licensed and registered providers here in this link: https://www.daycare.com/michigan/
It appears that those homes/providers that care for 6 or less children are registered whereas those homes/providers that have up to 12 kids are considered licensed.

I would call DHS to double check but that is what I gathered from reading the information for Michigan.
Hope that helps
