Licensee’s daughter was not observed by LPA or Investigator to be caring for children and was only observed sweeping in the kitchen before going to an off-limit area of the home. Assistant stated the licensee was not at the facility and was “out getting lunch for everyone”. At 9:30 am, LPA and Investigator observed Child #1 asleep in a wooden rocker, with a blanket over the child, and a bottle propped on the blanket and child’s chest. A picture was taken by LPA. At 9:30 am, two additional children (Child #6 and Child #7) arrived at the facility, bringing the total of children present to seven children, ages 6 months to 4 years of age, being cared for by Assistant, Jose Romero only. When LPA asked Assistant, Jose Romero if he knew he was out of ratio with seven children being cared for by himself, Mr. Romero stated that another assistant was on their way but was running late. At 9:36 am, Staff #2 arrived at the facility. At 9:42 am, Child #8 arrived at the facility. Licensee arrived at 10:03 am and stated she had been at an appointment.
