I live in Virginia, in fairfax county and if you have one child you have to have a permit, not all of Virginia requires that it but certain counties in Northern VA does. It really is crazy, but i have done it before in another county that didn't require me to have a permit as long as I didn't go over 5 kids. But there's no help with anything, no resources and now I have tons. It helps that my child care worker is awesome! So its a little bitter sweet
