Should i declare my babysitting money?

[butterfly]

i have started babysitting in the evenings to earn some extra cash. Should I be declaring this extra money as part of my childminding earnings or can i just take cash in hand and keep quiet? i use the ncma babysitting checklists so i do have proof i've been babysitting.

Yes you need to declare it.

Don't forget to claim your 40p er mile allowence for travel to and from the babysitting.
