Step3 : Agree on a method of payment. Younger baby sitters often prefer to be paid in cash, while older teenagers will accept checks.

Tips & Warnings

* If you have agreed to pay your baby sitter in cash when the baby-sitting assignment is completed, always have enough cash on hand to cover the cost.
