29 CFR 552.4 - Babysitting services.

  • Section Number: 552.4
  • Section Name: Babysitting services.

    As used in section 13(a)(15) of the Act, the term babysitting 
services shall mean the custodial care and protection, during any part 
of the 24-hour day, of infants or children in or about the private home 
in which the infants or young children reside. The term ``babysitting 
services'' does not include services relating to the care and protection 
of infants or children which are performed by trained personnel, such as 
registered, vocational, or practical nurses. While such trained 
personnel do not qualify as babysitters, this fact does not remove them 
from the category of a covered domestic service employee when employed 
in or about a private household.
