I have a family member, by marriage, who is attempting to begin the same business I am in, home daycare. My concern is she has no experience or background in the field, just her own kids and those of family.
There also hasn’t been the best care of her home or children.

Not your place to judge their ability. There is a licencing process to do it legally if they pass the home inspections and get thei license then cool… If it is as bad as your make or sound they won’t be able to pass.

Mind your damn business and worry about your self… I’m sure they do an inspection first…
Don’t you have to be certified to run a home daycare?

Sooo is your concern rooted in jealousy? or fear that she’ll take business from you?
Because…
other than threats to a child’s actual LIFE, it’s literally none of your concern unless she is outright slandering you to poach client’s or admits directly to you to harming a client’s child…

Just FYI the state does inspect in home daycares they’re required to by law. So with that being said she’ll have to have her home inspected and she has to list who lives there etc. so if they think there’s the slightest chance that her home isn’t up to standards or anything else they’ll deny her.

If the state has mandates that person needs to pass inspection and then they tend to show up periodically unannounced to watch new a daycare. Kinda bet not all states do this. Anyway…MYOB!
Am I the only 1 actually concerned. She said shorty don’t got experience and her house aint the best. Sounds like she concerned not jealous. Grow up

I think it’s just sad when we feel the need to be spiteful of someone else for any petty reason. Maybe instead you could give her all the advice she needs and guidance to achieve? Maybe y’all could work together and double profits?! We all need to be supportive of others trying to find their way, at least they are trying. Good luck!

All you can do is wait. Unfortunately. I know it’s hard to see her fail because you see her struggling now. But, maybe she will do better with more responsibility. Have faith. It’s funny that it could happen that way but, I’ve see it happen. Here in Texas you Must have a license in childcare android your home needs to be registered as a business to do this. I’m thinking there is a limit to the number of children legally in the home. Only as a business. 
. Wouldn’t it be funny if they came and they were all your own children. Well maybe not:grin:. I hope it doesn’t cause a strain in the family with the competition. Talk to your husband about it as well. God bless and be patient. Have faith. 
Childcare is always needed! Let her do her thing she could end up doing all that’s needed am be really great or be hated by everyone. Don’t be jealous! Why don’t you help her instead of talking behind her back!!
Lol sounds like jealousy. Other people are allowed to run daycares besides just you

Why get in her business? Isnt yours more worthy of your time?
Sometimes you don’t have to have experience and you can be either be a good damn worker or a poor ass one just let her do her thing
Yea look mind your own and let her do what she wants it will either be great or it won’t work out but nothing you do or say will change that but it would definitely cause family drama and you would be in the wrong so I would just let it run it’s course naturally.

It effects you in no way. Not your place to say anything. Mind your business
Most places require daycare providers to be licensed and certified. I would approach it as a friendly conversation with them about how to get certified (as I am assuming you are). Certification usually requires a home visit and spontaneous well checks to stay licensed.
Very jealous sounding based off your post. You honestly sound like you dont want her to be successful.
Are you very certain she ain’t trying to get her certification for in home daycare?
Why come to facebook if all your doing is putting her down. Instead of being so spiteful of it. Lift her up and let her know the process it’s going to take for her to be a certified in home daycare. The things they will ask her to do in order to be qualified.

Maybe you are her inspiration! Maybe give her some pointers and help her be successful rather than getting defensive and bad mouthing her? I mean I’m sure it’s not like there aren’t plenty of children that need daycare in your area. Maybe you can be a team eventually and open your own daycare center! Honestly it’s flattering when someone looks up to you or wants to be like you.

If the care for her home and children is dangerous then I would report and/or speak with her then report.
Why is it your business? Mind your own shit. You’re not even biological family.

Definitely mind your business unless you see any neglect or abuse of the children in her care, then you are obligated to report it.

Is she doing this illegally? I know daycares have to have a licensed daycare provider and if she’s not one she can get in trouble. Maybe tell her in a nice way that there is more to it than she thinks and that you are willing to help her with the first steps?

Don’t let what others do effect you. She may not even end up liking doing it, so let her give it a shot and mind your business.
Well if she’s no fit for it she won’t get the license and if she gets it and doesn’t do a good job people will complain and they will shut her down … so why do you care?

I am the person that really despises people that don’t speak up. Especially if there’s children involved. Because they can’t always speak for themselves and when they can, they can’t always articulate their needs or issues. You can either be a yes man, and sit idle and say nothing. Or you can find a respectful way to discuss your concerns.

I’d just worry about myself. She has to be licensed to run an in home daycare and there are standards to meet, inspections, follow up inspections etc. They’re not going to give a license to someone who doesn’t meet the states requirements. You said you do in home daycare, so you should know this. If she does get approved, good for her. There are plenty of parents that need daycare. Not to mention, it would give you another day care mom that you could do learning/activity planning with, both of you could take your daycare kids to do stuff together, you could support one another. If she is approved, look at it as a win for you. Empower other women. Help her out with the process, give her tips and wish her luck!

I mean, How else does someone get daycare experience if they don’t babysit or work with kids of family and friends?
What is there to address? It costs zero dollars to mind your business. Whatever shit you start with her may blow back on you. Stay out of it

It isn’t really your place to be concerned. Just don’t enroll your kids in her daycare. It just sounds like you don’t want the competition.
Trust parents to make an appropriate decision for their own kids. Those that find formal experience important will ask about and verify it. Everyone has their own criteria (and price range) for caretakers. Worry about yourself

What? Lol. If she has kids of her own then I would say she has some experience. It’s really not any of your business what she does. Good for her for taking a chance and opening up her own business, wish her well. Unless she’s abusing or neglecting her own children and you’re worried she would do it to someone else’s children then who cares. You don’t have to send your kids there so I would mind my own business honestly unless you have something positive to say to her about it.
