could someone let me know what are regulations for documentation in family day care for my own child that is in my care while I am working
I know we have to have forms to say what times they are with me however do we have to do assessments etc for them as well
TIA

Hi Grandma,
From one grandma to another, in my scheme if the children are in on the same day that you are working they have to be included into the program, obs, documentation and have portfolio's. This also included my grandchildren but I was getting paid for them.
I'm not sure if it specific touches that point in the regs but ask you scheme, your scheme might have it in their policies. An Educator in our scheme was told that her own child, when she is at home when the educator was working had to be included. Really we are doing the work anyway with the other kids and having a nice portfolio of your own child at the end of the year would be nice too. My own kids loved the portfolio's I gave them of the grandkids.
