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 hasnāt 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 coolā¦ If it is as bad as your make or sound they wonāt be able to pass.

Sooo is your concern rooted in jealousy? or fear that sheāll take business from you?
Becauseā¦
other than threats to a childās actual LIFE, itās literally none of your concern unless she is outright slandering you to poach clientās or admits directly to you to harming a clientās childā¦

Just FYI the state does inspect in home daycares theyāre required to by law. So with that being said sheāll have to have her home inspected and she has to list who lives there etc. so if they think thereās the slightest chance that her home isnāt up to standards or anything else theyāll 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. Anywayā¦MYOB!

I think itās 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 yāall 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 itās hard to see her fail because you see her struggling now. But, maybe she will do better with more responsibility. Have faith. Itās funny that it could happen that way but, Iāve 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. Iām thinking there is a limit to the number of children legally in the home. Only as a business. 
. Wouldnāt it be funny if they came and they were all your own children. Well maybe notā:grin:. I hope it doesnāt 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 thatās needed am be really great or be hated by everyone. Donāt be jealous! Why donāt 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 donāt 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 wonāt 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 itās 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 aināt 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 itās 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 Iām sure itās not like there arenāt plenty of children that need daycare in your area. Maybe you can be a team eventually and open your own daycare center! Honestly itās flattering when someone looks up to you or wants to be like you.

I am the person that really despises people that donāt speak up. Especially if thereās children involved. Because they canāt always speak for themselves and when they can, they canāt 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.

Iād 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. Theyāre not going to give a license to someone who doesnāt 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!

It isnāt really your place to be concerned. Just donāt enroll your kids in her daycare. It just sounds like you donāt 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
