Child Care - Information for Providers - Self-arranged Child Care Providers
 
 
Self-Arranged Child Care (SACC) is used when the parent’s choice of provider is not a Child Care Services Provider. Child Care Services Providers are licensed centers, licensed child care homes or registered child care homes that have signed provider agreements with Child Care Services.
 
Eligible Self-Arranged providers are:
 
  • A licensed center that is not a Child Care Services Provider,
  • A licensed child care home that is not a Child Care Services Provider,
  • A registered child care home that is not a Child Care Services Provider,
  • The child’s great-grandparent,
  • The child’s grandparent,
  • The child’s aunt if at least 18 years of age,
  • The child’s uncle if at least 18 years of age, or
  • The child’s sibling if the sibling is at least 18 years of age.
  • Providers providing child care in their own homes must become Listed Family Homes with TDFPS Day Care Licensing and providers providing care in the children’s homes cannot be on the Department of Public Safety's Sex Offender Registry. Providers must qualify before child care may begin.
Relative child care providers can not live in the same home as the child, unless the child’s parent is a teen.
 
The Information Session
 
Detailed information about the SACC process is provided during the Information Session the parent and provider must attend.
 
Parent and provider must bring picture identification cards (a Texas driver’s license or DPS ID card), Social Security cards (original cards only) and proof of current address (a current bill that shows name and address, letter from TDHS or other government agency, or similar document). You may also need to provide proof of relationship.
 
The necessary forms for SACC will be discussed and filled out during the Information Session. These include the I. R. S. Form W-9 since the money earned as a SACC provider is income.
 
 
 
 
Important Information for SACC Providers
 
The parent has hired you to care for the children. You will not be working for anyone other than the parent. Child Care Services does not process any taxes because you work for the parent. You are responsible for your taxes.
 
If the parent has to pay part of the cost of child care, you will be responsible for collecting that money. The amount the parent must pay will be deducted from your check.
 
You must keep accurate records of the children’s attendance and any money received from the parent.
 
You will have to turn in a billing form each month that both you and the parent must sign.
 
Your income as a SACC provider is the total of any amount the parent must pay you and the checks WorkForce Solutions Child Care Services sends you.
 
You may not charge the parent more than the CCS program rate for child care.
