   (b)   The provider shall be a permanent resident of the premises and at least eighteen years of age with a minimum of six months experience in caring for children ages fourteen years or younger. Said experience may be obtained either as a parent or from employment, day care center observation, volunteer service or eighteen hours of in-service training, or from some other similar activity.

The letter shall also indicate that the provider is free from all communicable diseases. Any other person eighteen years of age or older who will have regular contact with the children shall also make available a physician's or public health nurse's letter providing the same information as that required of the provider. The medical letters required by this subsection shall be updated at least once every three years, unless medical conditions then existing require closer monitoring.
