Would this be weird?
I live abroad in a tourist area, i’m
a teacher but do babysitting on the side as the pay is good. I end up having a lot of enquiries from May-September.
A family have asked me to babysit for most of a weekend in summer at their hotel, whilst they attend a family event. The money is very good and it’s quite a commitment as I have a young dc and get lots of jobs around the time they come.
In the past I’ve had enquiries that have fallen through and have turned down other jobs and lost out on a fair amount of money,
Would it be unreasonable to ask for a 50% deposit up front? How could this work?
