The inspector arrived at the home at 10:40am and observed caregiver #1 and household member #2 outside of the locked home and walking toward the parking lot. Caregiver #1 told the inspector that the children in care today were inside the home and being supervised by household member #1, while she and household member #2 were going to get something. Caregiver #1 requested that the inspector not conduct an inspection today. Upon entry to the home at 10:44am, and after completing a walk-thru of the entire home with caregiver #1, who was repeatedly calling out the name of household member #1, the inspector never saw household member #1. The bedroom door, reported to be the room of household member #1, was locked on the 3rd level of the home and entry not gained.
