Is it against the law to have an in-home daycare without a license?

Question

in indiana or illinois?

Answer 1

It is called "babysitting" and it is perfectly legal to babysit.

Answer 2

I would think that in-home daycare without a license is called "babysitting" which isn't illegal. I think you would be fine, at least for a certain amount of kids.  

Answer 3

If you babysit someone who is not family and you are over 14 there is absolutely nothing wrong with it however, there is a limit on the number of children you can care for at a time without a license (depending on your state), and yes it is true THE BABYSITTERS CLUB SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE......

Answer 4

Its not against the law to care for children in your home.  But there is a limit to the number of children you can watch without a license.  I don't now the details, but I'm sure that you could call your local DCFS or CPS agency and they could give you specific details.

Answer 5

No; and from experience, a daycare is only as good as the people who run it, licensed or not.
