Step-by-step guide:

Setting Up Payment:

  • Before accepting any bookings, link your bank account or preferred payment method. This ensures you receive payments smoothly after each booking. There is a step by step guide on the blog.

How Payments Work:

  • Once the family confirms the booking is complete, your payment is processed through the app. You should see it in your account within 2-3 business days.
  • If you babysit over the weekend, expect payment by mid-week.

Adjusting Your Rate:

  • You can adjust your rate at any time in your profile settings. However, the new rate will only apply to future bookings.
  • Start with a competitive rate and adjust as you gain more experience and recommendations.

Taxes and Reporting Income:

  • Keep track of your earnings, as babysitting income is taxable. While ITAV doesn’t provide tax forms unless specific criteria are met, you should report all your income.
  • Consult a tax professional for guidance on managing your earnings.
