Hi all, I am considering getting licensed for in home care here in San Diego. I currently have my 19 month old DD, my 5 year old DS who is in Kindergarten, and I watch 2 siblings from another family during the day as well. So basically I have 3 kids, 2 of which are under the age of 2, during the day.
If I get licensed, how many more can I take? I have looked at several ratio explanations for california and I'm still a little confused.
Another question, and don't hate me for this I am honestly just curious (I fully intend on getting licensed if I ever take more kids)...Is getting licensed a huge huge deal here? It seems like an overwhelming amount of work to only take a couple more kids. I am also worried because you hear stories about how licensing regulates every little detail and makes you feel like you can't even have your best friend over without fear of being cited. I honestly have literally nothing to hide...I live in a wonderful neighborhood and have nothing on my record or anything like that. But I just get anxiety thinking about how the state could show up whenever they want and criticize me for having a messy house or something . Does that happen a lot? I guess I'm just nervous abou the whole process. Any input would be appreciated!
