Hi ... I am in Ontario and I am not sure of SK rules but here we are only allowed a max of 5children not including our own. What she is doing sounds more like a nanny share. People here do it all the time but usually one family hires a nanny and then finds another family to bring their kids and they share the cost. Does this family have and extra rider for daycare on their house insurance incase of accident or injury? What happens if a parent slips and falls on the ice in the winter, what happens if a child is injured ? Who will be supplying the food? Is there something to prepare food with in this basement? What about clean up? Where will these children sleep? Does your cousin have the run if the house? What about toys ? Who supply's those ? What happens if a toy gets broken? Is your cousin responsible for replacing it? who will be supplying highchairs/booster seats? Playpens/cots/sleep mats? What about interviews ? Will this family let her conduct interviews at their home? Is there a separate entrance directly into the basement for the daycare families to enter thru or will they have to cone thru the house to get to the basement? Do the homeowners know what this entails? Strangers coming thru their home in the morning or coming to their door while they are getting ready for work. Does she have a contract? How close does she live to this family ? Walking or driving? What if her car breaks down and she can get there? What if she sleeps thru her alarm and is late? There will be families standing at this persons home waiting......Those are just a few of the questions?
