29 CFR 552.106 : Labor (§ 0.735-1 To Parts 4908-4999) — (§ 500.0 To Parts 871-899) — Regulations Relating To Labor (Continued) (§ 500.0 To Parts 871-899) — Wage And Hour Division, Department Of Labor (§ 500.0 To Parts 871-899) — Regulations (§ 500.0 To § 697.4) — Application Of The Fair Labor Standards Act To Domestic Service (§ 552.1 To § 552.110) — Interpretations (§ 552.99 To § 552.110) — Companionship services.

The term “companionship services” is defined in § 552.6. Persons who provide care and protection for babies and young children who do not have illnesses, injuries, or disabilities are considered babysitters, not companions. The companion must perform the services with respect to the elderly person or person with an illness, injury, or disability and not generally to other persons. The “casual” limitation does not apply to companion services.
