No Pay! No Play!

Lots of us do the prepaid method for each week. I am starting this now.

Have any of you ever had to turn away at the door Monday morning because dcf hasn't paid??

Nope. The trick to that method is getting the parents to understand BEFORE they show up that you won't be taking the kids if you aren't paid.

[Soupyszoo]

Agreed! I'm pretty new to this but this is something I'm implementing. Normally I charge on Friday for the week I just provided. For some reason it just hit me that if any of my families decided to be "mean" they could decide not to pay me for my time. So from now on I will be paid before I work or I won't be watching their kids! DUH! ::

Never once. Clarity of policy equals cooperation.

Yes, Twice. One family went back for the cash. One family paid me on Tues. Both times I did not keep the kidos sorry.
