Child Care

I went for a job interview today and it went really well, I have to go back on Friday. Anyway, I am going to have to put DD8 in some sort of before and after school day care. I spoke with my friend and she is going to do it for me and I am going to pay her. My XH is responsible for 1/2 the fee. I am thinking about writing a contract for the day care, since I know XH will cause a problem reimbursing me. Has anyone ever done this and can you give me tips and/or an example on how to write this? I will be paying her $12.00 and hour which included her driving DD to and from school as well as giving her a snack and helping her with homework. Thank you.

Just have your friend purchase a receipt book so she can write out receipts for your payments. The contract would be nice between you and she, but your ex just needs to see how much you have paid.
