Do You Bill Your DCP's?

[Willow]

I charge hourly, and don't depend on parents to (accurately) keep track of those hours, so I send an invoice.

I bill via email every other Saturday for the previous two weeks of care.

Payment is expected Monday morning when the child returns.


I've rarely had a problem with my system (*knocks on wood* )

I invoice them through Minute Menu Kids and their ChildCarePay.com. It is a $1.00 fee for me for each transaction but it is tax deductible and adds itself automatically to my list of items purchased that I can write off.

It is TOTALLY worth it! It invoices them on Friday and they have until Monday morning to pay. I can send out additional reminders if they haven't paid by when I want them too and I can add a late fee to it if need be. Plus, all of their invoices are in one place come tax time. No sweat off my back.
