25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kyrsten Williams conducted an unannounced case management inspection at the above facility. LPA met with licensee, Maria Rogers and the purpose of the inspection was explained. LPA observed five children in care being supervised by the licensee.
During inspection, it was learned licensee currently has an assistant, Carolina Tipula, employed at her facility. Based on record review, the assistant does not have a criminal record background clearance through Guardian system. LPA observed the assistant completed the application to obtain a criminal record background clearance in January 2023. As of April 2023, the application was closed due to unknown provider for the applicant to be associated to. Based on interview and record review, it was determined that the assistant has worked at the facility for more than five days.
