What to put on a babysitter invoice
- Your name or business name, and your address.
- Your client's name and address.
- A unique invoice number. Keep them in order so they are easy to track.
- The invoice date, and the date you supplied the goods or services if it is different.
- A description of what you supplied, with quantities and prices.
- The total amount due and the date it should be paid by.
- How to pay you, such as your bank details.
- If you are VAT registered: your VAT number, the tax point, the VAT rate and the VAT amount.
- The dates and hours of each shift, so the family can check them.
- Your hourly rate, and any extra charge for late nights or more than one child.
- Travel costs on their own line if you charge for them.
This is general guidance, not tax or legal advice. GOV.UK has the full rules on invoices and VAT.
Questions
What should a babysitting invoice say?
The dates and hours worked, your hourly rate and the total. Add your bank details so the family can pay you.
Can I charge extra for late nights?
Yes. Put the extra as its own line, such as "Late finish after midnight".
Is it okay to invoice a family?
Yes. Use the parent or guardian's name as the client. An invoice gives you both a record.
Do I need to charge VAT?
No, unless you are VAT registered, which is very unlikely for babysitting.
