Hi all! I am about 10 weeks pregnant and am preparing for all my appointments ect that are coming up.

I am having a hard time finding the qualifications for hiring a sub for my home daycare (in CA). Do the just need a livescan or do they also need cpr & first aid, tb test, and the health practices class? I read that someone else can fill in for me 20% of the time, but what about a long term sub position (like a month, but I would be on site). Would that just be considered an assistant?

I am semi-planning on hiring a short term sub for when I have the baby in january, but I'm trying to figure out how this is feasible. This is my third child - how did any of you deal with pregnany, childbirth, and maternity leave while dealing with a home daycare? This pregnancy was not planned I am still just starting out and have one DCK so this kinda threw a wrench in our plans. I feel like taking time off is going to hurt my starting this business out.

TIA for your replies.

if they are over 18 they will need
cpr first aid
DOJ clearance
TB clearance

I have 4 asst. and I am in CA

now they can sub for you all day long as long as you are there or you can be gone 20% of the time.

Ok awesome, I was having a hard time finding where it said EXACTLY what they needed. That's good news I thought they would need the preventative practices class too. They sure don't make it easy!

no they don't....only what I listed.


I make them pay for all of that stuff and after 90 days of employment I will refund them the cost to cover those things.... if they quit or get fired before the 90 day or I have to extend it, I don't cover the cost of the fees they paid to get all of the certs and clearances
