(e) A caregiver in a residential child care facility may participate in duties other than direct care of children and be counted toward the caregiver-to-child ratios required under this chapter so long as the caregiver remains on duty and the caregiver's primary responsibility continues to be the direct care and supervision of children. However, facility staff counted toward caregiver-to-child ratio requirements must be awake at all times during which they are counted unless there are five or fewer children in care during nighttime care.
