No. Caregivers supervising children during nighttime care in your child-care home do not have to be awake to supervise the children if:
- (1) The children are asleep before the caregivers;
- (2) The caregivers are on the same floor as the sleeping children; and
- (3) The caregivers are close enough to the children to respond or intervene if a child awakens for feeding, becomes ill, is afraid of the dark, or in the event of an emergency.
