Shall I make an invoice now and ask for the money or shall I wait ?

[confusedandsilly]

Hi there,

I'm a cm and I have been asked to work next tuesday, normally it is my day off but I accepted to work it as a favour to the parents, shall I billed the parents now and get the money transfered in my account or shall I wait for the day itself ?

Forget to say thank you !

For one off odd days I usually ask for cash on arrival, otherwise I expect to be paid beforehand. If there's no cash at drop off, there's no childminding done!

Ok or I can ask her to transfer the money beforehandThank you fliss.

No worries - it's your business, you get paid how and when you want :)

Always get paid in advance, especially if you have changed your plans to work. If the child is ill or mum changes her mind you can bet she won't expect to pay you so getting paid in advance saves any hassle.

Thank you lesstalk, I'm going to do that I think.

dont you trust her then? for me it would depend on the parent, some you know wouldnt dream of not paying but sadly others you know will try and wriggle out of it..get in advance if you not sure.
