Compliance & Legal-Style Statement
Babysitting services provided through the Qtorpia Kids Babysitters Club are classified as informal, occasional caregiving and are not licensed child care, daycare, or regulated child care services.
Services are rendered on a limited-duration, non-institutional basis and are:
• provided intermittently
• compensated only for approved sitter periods
• restricted to under-threshold monthly hour limits
• subject to sitter rotation where applicable
Qtorpia reserves the right to:
• refuse or discontinue services where safety or legal compliance is in question
• adjust sitter assignments to maintain program eligibility status
• modify schedules to remain within Maryland informal-care parameters
Parents and guardians retain full responsibility for:
• determining suitability of sitter assignment
• supervising overall child-care decisions
• maintaining safe household environments
This program does not create a state-regulated childcare facility or employer-employee relationship between Qtorpia and client households.
Babysitter placement assignments are determined based on sitter age, maturity level, training credentials, child age group, behavioral or support needs, safety environment, and emergency-response readiness. Younger sitters may only supervise older, low-risk children in limited-duration sittings. Infant care and special-needs babysitting placements require older sitters with verified training, parent-provided safety briefings, and Qtorpia approval. Qtorpia reserves the right to adjust supervision ratios, assign an additional sitter, rotate sitters, or decline a placement when conditions warrant enhanced safety or compliance oversight.
