A money order is just as good as cash. I would take it and unfortunately not pursue the 2 weeks. What state are you in? I know in Maryland, if you are caught watching children unlicensed, it is a $1000.00 fine minimum. Look into the regulations (your state should have a website). I have my parents pay me on the Monday before the week starts, this ensures that if they don't pay by the close of Monday, they cannot bring their child on Tuesday. I only lose one day then. I used to charge one week up front to pay for the childs LAST week in care. Then if they gave me notice, I would already be paid for the last week. If they gave me no notice, then I didn't watch the kids, but still got paid for one week. If they gave me 2 weeks notice, they still had to pay for the 1st week of the notice, but not the 2nd. If they didn't pay that 1st week, I wouldn't take the kids back.
