[quote=Anonymous]The facts are that some parents are simply looking for the best they can afford and are sometimes in a bind. It happens ALL the time, just read care.com! While $400 is low for an entire weekend, it is $400 that can probably help OP significantly. I would ask to be paid up front, or at minimum require $300 paid upfront. If she can't, or is unwilling to do so, that would be a deal breaker for me. When I was younger I too had a part time family that was lower income and I got burned. If you have that feeling that you can't trust someone, listen to it! And you can request that your bf be present with you over the weekend. You can assure her that her child will be your #1 priority, but that you just don't feel comfortable with the arrangements. Though, she may find that to be too intrusive. Finally, if she pays you a portion (I would expect $300) of her bill prior to her trip, Do not do any more sitting until the balance is paid. None of this IOU crap! [/quote]
