[quote=Anonymous]We pay both our adult and teenaged babysitters in cash. I will note that I am aware that many teenagers will not bother to file taxes or report on cash received, and may very well prefer to work off the record. I'm also aware that plenty of adult babysitters are also taking babysitter cash off the record even though they probably [i]should[/i] report the income. We do not normally carry cash. We ask our babysitters how they prefer to be paid, and when it's cash (as it nearly always has been in this area), we drop by an ATM on the way home and withdraw the necessary amount of cash. OP asked a pretty reasonable question. I don't think it's that hard for someone to go get some cash. However, if the woman in question lives in an area where the ATMs aren't in safe places or where having a lot of cash in the house makes her feel vulnerable (I have personally lived in such places), I think that accepting a check shouldn't be that big a deal. Just deposit the check using the bank's mobile app, and give your kid cash. [/quote]
