Very...um...thorough ? parents

My husband (a teacher) and I both have them. We need current ones always on file for working with our church youth, for hosting our exchange students and for any volunteering that we can fit in with our children's school. You can write this cost off. Frankly, I'm surprised that none of my parents have ever requested a copy...that said, I do state in my introductory letter that we have one and for what reasons. For me, if I requested one and my potential provider balked at it, it would be a big red flag. Just my 2 cents.

With being licensed I had to get a criminal record and child abuse registry check for myself and everyone else living in my home over the age of 16.

I would be concerned about their issue with my husband being around the kids. It is his home and there would be many situations where he may be home when the kids are home - before and after his own work hours, if he stays home sick, etc. I would be telling the family this, if they aren't okay with my husband then it isn't okay with me.
