A license is required by the State of Nevada for the provision of child care services to more than 4 children who are not related to you and/or for whom you receive payment. Some jurisdictions have different requirements, so check with your town, city or county to see if you need a Special Use Permit as well.

The Nevada Child Care Fund will now be open to families making $60,000 to $70,000 per year for a household of four, nearly double the previous income threshold, which limited access to families that make up to 130 percent of the poverty level ($36,075 a year for a family of four).

Family members, including siblings and adult children, can be hired and paid as caregivers unless they are legally responsible for the care recipient. Spouses and other Legally Responsible Individuals (LRIs) may not be paid for providing personal care under this program.
