[quote=Anonymous]I work as an overnight newborn care specialist.  I mainly work as an independent contractor and file my own taxes.  I report report my earnings and prefer to be paid by check or credit card to make my record keeping more simplified. Occasionally, I will do short-term engagements where I am asked by the emoyer to be paid in cash. I will usually charge a lower rate for cash. This is not my personal preference, though.

If I were to only be paid in cash, I would have no verfiable income or be able to establish and maintain a good credit history. Most agencies do little more than provide a false sense of security. Rarely do they cover us for liability, therefore this is another reason we work as IC's and maintain our own liability insurance.

I also agree with previous posters that there is no governing, licensing or regulating board for this work. The classes will do little to enhance your skill set and will only be a minor asset to your marketability.

I have worked hard over many years to build a solid reputation as an NCS. I have a BS and MA in somewhat unrelated fields, but I truly love what I do!  I am welll suited to the hours, my background in mental health helps with my communication with families and my love of newborns shines through in skilled and loving care I provide.

I command an excellent and highly competitive salary reflective of my skills and experience. I am happy to provide this service above-board and to pay my own taxes as required. I hope this has been of some help to you, OP!  If you are still looking for care, you may contact me at goodnightsleepbaby@gmail.com. Thank you![/quote]
