Sec. 552.106  Companionship services for the aged or infirm.

    The term ``companionship services for the aged or infirm'' is 
defined in Sec. 552.6. Persons who provide care and protection for 
babies and young children, who are not physically or mentally infirm, 
are considered babysitters, not companions. The companion must perform 
the services with respect to the aged or infirm persons and not 
generally to other persons. The ``casual'' limitation does not apply to 
companion services.
