Section 747.1203 - What is the difference between an assistant caregiver and a substitute caregiver?
Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025
(a) An assistant caregiver is counted in the child/caregiver ratio and assists in the care and supervision of children. An assistant caregiver may not be left to supervise and care for children without the primary caregiver or a substitute caregiver being present in the child-care home at the same time.
(b) A substitute caregiver is the caregiver you leave in charge of your child-care home in your absence. You must give the substitute caregiver the authority to administer your child-care home in compliance with the minimum standards and the Licensing law in your absence. Your substitute caregiver may also be counted in the child/caregiver ratio.
