I asked the Prov. about nannies and the explanation I got was essentially, "if the caregiver is paid to care for the children, like a nanny, she is not allowed to have playdates (over 5 children...)" In short, the same rules apply to nannies, as paid home child care providers. At first they told me it included parents too!...but they changed it about a month later (Sept. 2010) and started telling us that parents could bring children to visit or for picking up another of their children, but NOT paid care-givers.
