I was told pretty much the same thing by my licensing consultant. A backup is somebody that is not regularly employed, but used very very occasionally, like if you have a doctor's appointment once a year and are in need of a sub or in case of an emergency.

A daycare assistant is someone that you use frequently and they need to have all of the rules and regulations met with background check, medical clearance, etcetera.

Of course, I'm sure, every state is different. It seems to be the common advice ..check your licensing to see what applies
