Babysitting Is Legal in Michigan ? Up to $600

When I blogged about Michigan’s bill to exempt babysitters from daycare regulations, I didn’t know it imposed a $600 limit. The bill has been signed into law, and babysitters are free to watch kids in peace — as long as they earn less than that amount in a year.

A teenager who watches kids one night a week for $50 would exceed that limit, so I’d say Michigan’s daycare regulations still apply to way too many people.
