[quote=Anonymous]I have a teenage daughter who has recently started babysitting. There is a woman in our neighborhood who has asked her several times to babysit and has always paid her with a check. This is very inconvenient because it means my daughter does not get immediate access to the money she earned and I have to make a trip to a bank (which I can only do on Saturday mornings) to cash it for her.

She is babysitting for this woman again two weeks from now and I told my daughter to ask her to please pay in cash from now on and the woman told her “I don’t carry cash. I can write you a check or Venmo or PayPal.”

Am I wrong to think this woman should just go get some cash sometime between now and December? It may be inconvenient for her but she’s the one who wants to go out, and just like making arrangements for the sitter I think you should arrange how to pay the sitter, I have always paid all my babysitters in cash, even when it meant going out of my way to hit the ATM, having to buy something to break large bills, or rounding up.

Please share your thoughts and experiences! TIA[/quote]
