When I first started I did this, luckily it was my cousins little girl so I knew Id get paid eventually, but, it took 8 weeks until I got any money and then that was only for the first two weeks pay!! The contract was only for 13weeks in total but my cousin left after 8 weeks as she had problems with others on the same course. I got paid for the full 12 weeks in the end, worked 8 then 4 weeks notice but if it wasnt someone I knew I would of been worried about not being paid. And I will never work that way again. I always get paid on a monday for that week, would never work with no pay again.
I have one parent who questions everything and tries it on, I took her lo home once, but told her at her door, it was a one off, and that I work from home for a reason. At the end of the day, it's your business. Your house your rules.
Hope you find some nice parents soon, or this one realises she needs you to be able to go to work herself!
Good luck xx

Well i've told her that i cannot mind her children any more, explained why and she wasn't happy but not as bad as i thought. I do feel bad for the kids, think the older one especially really enjoyed it
