my own children when determining how many children will be provided care?

if such children are cared for in the family day care home.
Q. May I hire
employees to help run my family day care home?
A. No
employees or other type of assistance will be allowed, except a non-family

of providing a back-up in the event of temporary and/or emergency absence
of the child care provider in compliance with state regulations that require
a substitute care provider.
