What is an FFN?

Are you a family, friend, or neighbor (FFN) who provides child care to children in your community? BANANAS wants to support you!

FFN Stands for “Family, Friend, or Neighbor” Caregiver. An FFN is anyone taking care of children without a license from the state. A nanny, au pair, grandma, uncle, taking care of young children can be an FFN. FFN care is the way a family and community can work together to raise children.

In order to qualify as an FFN you must:
1. Take care of children besides your own.
