If you are going to want to get paid cash in hand you MUST make sure you have a fair price. Just remember that people can have their LO's looked after at a FDC for around $5 an hour.

My son is with his babysitter for a full day (approx 8am to 5/6pm) and I give her $50 per day and send him with his own food. She has his formula and spare clothes and his cot etc all there ready for him. She has her own LO's too so she suggested $50 a day. When I work full time, I will start giving her $55.

Just make sure you have a fair price and experience/qualifications/certificates etc and people will be happy to pay cash!
