I used to operate a large family childcare in California. There, my husband and assistants were not listed on my actual license. However, the licensing office had background clearances for each of them and they were all listed in my licensing file. (All were cleared to fill in for me). I'm not sure if parents are given access to that information though.
Regardless of what the law is here, if I wasn't 100% comfortable with all the caregivers responsible for my child, I would look for new childcare.
