I have decided to have my 20 year old cousin listed as my back up. She wouldn't be an assistant, but she would come and watch the kids when I have to go to the doctor or take one of my kids to the doctor. In my state she needs to have the safe sleep class, and the cpr/first aid. Who is responsible for paying for those classes? I found out she was going to be my back up as well as work at her moms daycare center during the summer as a sup. So I don't feel like I should have to pay for the total cost. I offered to pay half an have her mom pay the other half since she will be at both places, but her mom (also my cousin) thinks I should cover it. What do you ladies think? I don't mind paying she was only getting it to help me but shes not.

If she works at her moms daycare she should already have these trainings eh?Originally posted by cara041083 View Post
I think you could tell her that a requirement of the job is to have those things, and then once she is working for you then you would kick in and pay them.
I would think it would be a win win for your cousin paying half.
Regardless if she was going to work for me I would want those things to be covered and just provide the training to cover myself and for the safety of the kids.
Curious how you end up working this one out- -
If she's going to be supervising the children while you're not there then she has to have all of the training you were required to have minus an orientation. So safe sleep, abuse & neglect, CPR/first aid, child development, health assessment & TB test, and be listed on your KBI registry.
To answer your question about payment since she is the one you're hiring whatever training she does not have that is required in order for her to do the job would need to be paid for by you... and all of the time it takes her to complete the training would be paid hours.K.A.R. 28-4-113.

Now if you're putting out an advertisement you can put as one of the requirements of the job to already have all of that training in order to avoid paying for any of it.Comment

Sorry I didn't read the part about her working somewhere else, too. Well, you could always say I can't hire anyone unless they already have all of that training... then hire her once she has it.Originally posted by cara041083 View PostComment
