My Weekly Poll! What Is Your Business Status?

[Former Teacher]

Just curious

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

Licensed.

I can have 8 kids four and under, and 4 kids four and over. 12 total.

Once my baby comes I can have baby, 6 kids four and under, and 4 kids four and older. 11 total, unless I have an assistant then the ratio can be 12 infants if I wanted it to be. ::

I currently have 9 children enrolled (two are part-time). I cut 3 and 1 is leaving for a special education program.

[BumbleBee]

I am licensed.

I can have 6 total at one time.

Of those 6:

No more than 2 can be under 18 months

No more than 2 can be between 18 & 30 months.

Ex: I have 3 under 18 months enrolled but can only have 2 of the 3 here at the same time.

[Twinvillageiowa]

I am a nanny but I work out of my home. I watch one little boy and every other week watch a friend's foster baby for two hours while she goes to an appointment. My own kids are 6 and in first grade, so I drop them off at school, pick up nanny kid at his house, have a fun day, pick my kids up at school and then his mom picks him up from my house.

ETA: I can have up to 5 kids and still be unlicensed as long as my own kids are school age. If they weren't, they would have to be counted in that 5.

[MissSarah]

I'm legally unlicensed. I can have up to 2 kids or a sibling group. Of course right now I don't have any kids....

Licensed. Here you can only care for 1 unrelated family if you aren't licensed. I can have 12. 2 school age, 10 under school age with 2 under 2, but only 1 can be an infant.

I am running under a different license for a few more months tho which gives me 10 total. 2 SA, 8 under SA age with 3 being under 2, but no more than 2 infants.

I have 5 full-time and 1 part-time currently.

[Sunchimes]

I am Listed-which is what you guys call legally unlicensed. I am signed up with DFPS and hubby and I have had background checks. I'm not allowed on the food program and can only have 3 children. (Not sure if my own kids would count since I don't have any still at home.)
