How to pay my babysitter?

By which method of payment to pay your babysitter?

If you are asking yourself by which method of payment should I pay the babysitte, it's a good sign, you're already making progress. It's a good idea to keep track of the payments you make to your babysitter as they can be claimed when you file your taxes and you may be eligible for government assistance as well.

Cash, cheque or online bank transfers

It's best to discuss how your sitter would prefer to receive payment. Most often sitters, especially occasional sitters or young sitters prefer to be paid in cash but paying by cheque or bank transfer are other feasible options.

  Provide your babysitter with receipts for payments given (especially in cash) so that you have a paper trail when it comes time for filing your taxes. These receipts don't need to be official, you can even write them by hand.

What else do you need to declare your babysitting expenses?

It is important to ask your babysitter for her Social Insurance Number (SIN) as you will need it when claiming your babysitting expenses when filing your taxes. Canadian residents over the age of 12 can easily apply for a Social Insurance number either in person at Service Canada Centre or by mail.
