Wtf is u talking about?
So a baby sitter baby sitting and the home of the child is completely legally fine. If you are doing it at your own home, or watching unrelated children, it can be iffy.
https://childcare.gov/consumer-education/informal-in-home-child-care#:~:text=Your%20state%20or%20territory%20may,to%20ensure%20the%20children's%20safety.
That's why I said it depends on state/situation.
the fact pattern you provided mother watching another child with her own... i don't think that would quality anywhere but i did not check all the rules.
if they are running something resembling a commercial operation that would be a different story.
It fully depends on if you're doing it at your house, or the house of the child you are watching, and the state.
But the rules don't matter as long as no one is a narc!
Which my thing "might" break.
Running illegal home daycares is a thing
why would a person watching a child or two be considered a day care?
Getting paid for it crosses a threshold I'll bet
do baby sitters register? i never heard of this.
Are y'all spit balling here or do you have an actual example to substitute this claim?

"For instance, most states and territories do not require an in-home child care provider to be licensed if they provide care on an occasional basis, provide care in your home, or are related to the children in their care."
That is why I gave the "it depends"
Try googling it. It my state day cares must be registered and it looks like there's lots of regulations. If there is any government funding you can bet your britches there are inspections.
we are talking about a specific fact pattern here. OP made unsubstantiated allegation, you are not willing to produce any evidence either...
day care business is heavily regulated, you are stretching applicability of these laws to a mother baby sitting another child.
people do nany share all the time with out having to check with in daddy government lol
also... wtf are you talking about "government funding", is this government funding in the room with us right now?
when does government "fund" child care? at best they give you few grand of pre-tax income to be used for it in the world where it starts at 20Kπ€‘
My state will subsidize child care for parents under a certain income. Nobody is saying anyone will get in trouble for babysitting family members. You could simply Google it and save yourself some typing and a whole lot of embarrassment
"funded"
What do you think subsidies are?
these 3 people getting some money from a state if they check 69 boxes is not "funded"
you are white washing facts. vats majority of people don't get any "funded"
Baby siters sit a single child or siblings at their own home. Once you start bringing other children in your home nothing stops you taking in 20 and doing it so in dangerous conditions
