I have no idea where she met her husband but he's gotten in trouble with the law for some VERY poorly planned arson with the purpose of insurance fraud. She btw was in the car with him and the kids when he committed this crime.

I like the idea of wording this for Social services that she needs assistance and not necessarily removal. I think that would be better for all involved judging by what I know of the situation.

As for getting certified. My main reason is that I would get many more requests from people who desire child care assistance. I have been willing to do this for people before who do not have child care assistance but want to apply for it. Every last time that I agree to go through the application process, before I can even fill out all the forms and file them the people, EVERY last one, get fired, get arrested, loose their kids to social services, or quit their job. Also every one of them have failed to pay the last couple days worth of care that they agreed to pay when they signed my contract.

In my contract it states that I am not a certified or liscenced daycare so no one could claim that they did not know. Also my homeowners insurance agent insures my childcare for quite a lot to cover damages to the home, lawsuits, accidents involving the children, etc. He came and inspected the home and felt it was safe and satisfactory. Unannounced inspections is only a minor reason because it would be an interruption, irritation, and also - I am homeschooling my daughter. Though homeschooling is becoming more accepted there is a bit of prejudice against homeschooling and a history or prosecution of those who homeschool. I know this rare happens anymore but I grew up with the homeschool crowd who's parents were imprisoned for homeschooling (and do not think there was anything they did except for pull their kids from public school). There's just plenty of reason that I'd prefer to keep my childcare self-controlled.

On a side note - I hope you all don't think I'm intentionally giving only a part of the picture. Some of the things you mention I haven't even thought of yet. Also I only discovered this last bit of info regarding the girls special ed schooling from my mother recently. I knew mom had been asked to help tutor the girl for a while but I didn't realize it was for this reason. I thought it was just some trouble that she was having with particular classes. Come to find out she never even got algebra in high school. It was basic math skills all through.
