Worker Napping
Collapse

In our state we can sleep when the children are here for the night but do have to be awake during arrival and departure.
I'm not sure what the difference would be to take a nap during the day or sleep a full night during the night. Either way I probably wouldn't sleep well.
We have several 24/7 childcare's in the area so I'm sure those providers could use a nap once in awhile.Each day is a fresh start
Never look back on regrets
Live life to the fullest
We only get one shot at this!!

Here, the city I live charges a set fee for minimum 2000 gallons a month; since I live alone, I never use that much unless babes are here - Where I lived before I was very conservative so I get it; I came from a very eco/artsy town in AR. I still conserve, not just as much as normal because I'm charged regardless... in your position I would just spray sheets too. This stuff smells nice and is non toxic. My families love I use it over Bleach- Flag

They're still working put the kinks. They're separating regulations for centers and FCC so if we have separate blankets for them them we only have to wash them weekly, dont have the touch regulation, and once you put the baby down pm their back of they roll themselves over you don't have to roll them back over.
As written...they seem Ridiculous. What does sanitizing infant bedding daily accomplish? And if they want me to do a health check every 15 minutes that involves touching a sleeping baby....that’s just mean. Also waking them up by rolling them over .... :P. At least you only have to do that part until parents sign a form.- Flag

My thoughts
I have been a home provider for over a year. This includes a time when my own infant was only sleeping 2 hours clips at night. Never for an instant did it ever enter my mind that taking a nap when the kids were sleeping would be ok.- Flag

Without being able to share the Provider's name with you, because this happened anywhere between March 2018 and July 2018, the Minnesota Department of Human Services issued a Negative Action Order against a provider for failing to provide Supervision while she was asleep. This NAO has been reported several times against providers in the DHS documentation.
This is not spelled out in the rules, but the State does take action on it.
I am sure it will need to be spelled out sooner or later as that seems to be the way our state is headed.
I had a licensor several years ago that cited a neighboring provider for not supervising her DCK's outside. They were all 5 yrs old. Licensor said supervision must be within sight AND sound. Provider appealed and won.
I've seen the opposite too (provider not winning appeal) where there is no written rule so I was just curious where you had gotten the info. I was hoping you knew where it was written in the statutes simply as a concrete yes/no as to whether it was a rule in MN.- Flag

As far as kidsncats comment goes the provider was probably highly likely to have been cited not for sleeping but for failing to "provide proper supervision" and not just sleeping itself. If a child got hurt or put him/herself into a compromising position while the provider was asleep and or she was asleep and another child was not then she most likely got written up for that as well ... many states consider this lack of supervision where they have regulations stating that children must be supervised which translates to a violation of a child's personal right to safety.- Flag

Okay thank you everyone. I don’t have any actual proof but I came early one day and the provider had marks on her face like she had just woken up. My baby is 9 months old. He sleeps next to her couch so I’m sure she was right there. I like her and maybe she just accidentally dozed off. I’m not confrontational so I didn’t say anything and neither did she.- Flag
