I want to hire someone to come help once I reach my limit. Can you do that and be unlicensed. If not what happens if you do anyway. I have checked state requirements but nothing is listed about what happens if I am over my limit. And I mean seriously just one or two extra. I would never overwhelm myself and deny proper care for the children.
It really depends upon the state, county and what kind of mood the social worker is in....it can vary from a simple "You have to get licensed" order, to a cease and desist immediately, with the kids in your care being taken away by social services that instant, to fines and possible jail time, depending on the violations and the severity of them.
