53. A natural person, other than a day care centre permit holder, who is an own-account self-employed worker who contracts with parents to provide childcare in a private residence, in return for payment, to at least seven but no more than nine children must be recognized as a home childcare provider by a coordinating office in the manner determined by regulation and must be assisted by another adult.
The person and the adult assistant may not provide childcare to more than four children under the age of 18 months and must, for the purpose of calculating the number of children, include any children under nine years old of their own, and any children under nine who ordinarily live with them and are present while the childcare is provided.
