Hi,

You are being used. Let them know you won't work for them again until you've been paid in full what they owe you. And stick to it. (It would be best if you texted them this expectation on the day they're expecting you to work for them.) They will be angry, but may end up scrambling to get the money. Their financial "problems" are their own, and shouldn't be made yours. Have you ever heard the expression "putting good money after bad"? That's what's happening. These users are stringing you along.

Also DEMAND, from now on, no matter who you babysit for, that you require payment after each babysitting session. These particular people, since they are ripping you off, need to pay up front each and every time. And if they have the nerve to think you are still interested in working for them, tell them your rates just went up, due to interest and the fact you need Christmas presents (LOL). Good babysitters are VERY hard to find. Value yourself. It's got nothing to do with D or s.

You say you're from Canada? Do they have small claims courts up there? If Canada has something analogous, you can sue, even if there's only a verbal contract. You might not get $, but as a future business person it'll be a valuable experience.

Good Luck,

January

Your right Killer, what gets to me is im only asking 5 dollars a hour NOT even what the teenagers are asking....

Why are you discounting your work? That tells the parents you won't mind getting treated less than fairly.

Oh I will be saying I work when I am Paid, I will be saying from now I get paid for my work up front after this as you said...I dont trust them after this one. Once I can understand things being mucked up but TWICE that's shame on me for not being strick and saying Look I need to be paid (this is the FIRST time they have ever not paid me but the SECOUND time they have an excuse why they can't pay me. I am SICK of their excuses! I dont mean to sound nasty but their financial issues is NOT my problem its theirs! Why am i discounting my work? because their came a time when we really needed the money my husband hours were cut and we really needed the money now we dont need it but i like having spending money but im not working for charity! I too have my own things i'd like to have like the table i told this guy id be buy to pick it up this weekend and now i don't know what i am gona do because my husband doesn't get paid till next week!! Prevously they have tried to get me to charge them less too they were like "5.00 is alot of money do you think you could charge less? Im like NO, THAT'S cheaper then a teenager and if you don't like it you don't have to hire me!! I wont be quiting till i get my money ....! I'm not stupid...as for small claims yes we have them but it would probually cost me more to put in all the paper work and they'd not show up and i still not see a cent because they would get all grouchy and makes things worse they seem like the type! She (the mother) said to me today...."you can stop looking at me funny too when you see me, i can't help we don't have the money!" when she is PERFECTLY capiable of getting off her butt and getting a job herself!!!! The nerv to tell me somthing ...! I didnt even see her the day she said i gave her a dirty look lol she must be feeling guilty and she should! I have been nothing but good to those 2 kids!!!

I'm wondering why they don't have the money. I mean if you are babysitting, what are THEY doing at the time. They're either working (unlikely) or spending money and enjoying themselves.

If they can afford a 'date', they can afford a sitter. If they cant afford a sitter, they need to stay home.

THANK YOU i was thinking the same thing i think that everytime they go out why are they going out if they CANNOT afford to go out....! I mean somtimes they go out thursdays and saterdays and they dont pay me until the next week but they pay me they have never done this before...but ive talked to my husband and he has said that i need to "play nice" until they pay me and decide if i want to contune to work for them and make them pay me upfront or quit but its MY choice...! im not going to put up with non-payments thats for sure it really stresses me out when ive worked 4pm one day and then they spend the whole night at my place and then then they wake up at 4am and i have to watch them till 12 pm the following day and i havent been paid!!! its irritating and their bratty!!!

Cut your losses. Or ask for their television or mobile phone in lieu of payment, including a signed deed of transfer. Do not sit again unless you are paid in advance.

Thanks, How can I not stress out about 140 dollar though I mean we are without money until my husband gets paid next thursday we live pay check to paycheck so it still is upsetting....they seem to think because i have no children i have all this extra income and i dont have bills! I seem to be ripped off doing childcare on a regular basis! I really appericate all the wonderful feedback but i'm still out 140 dollars ...it's annoying and not having the money makes me mad! I mean she even tried to guilt trip me!!!

Subbiedw, have some fun with it!
Call them and ask if they need you tomorrow then,....just don't show up! lol
Now if this was me in a similar situation I'd wait for a month then slash their tires.Or is it "tyres" in Canada?
There's all kinds of stuff you can do.

I have to respectfully disagree with both Ishtarr and LaTigresse. The OP is a young lady who does not have the life experiences we have had. I know how I had to learn...the same way she is. By doing what I thought was right, and trusting others. Sometimes more than once.

I see a young person who was trying to earn a little extra money by helping out a family and working for less than what she was worth, and she was not appreciated, nor was she paid. If she were my sister, I'd insist she take them to court even if it cost her a bit more money than she's out right now. In the US, if the other party doesn't show, (as she indicates her employers are likely not to) you win. I don't know Canadian law, but I assume it's similar in nature.

She's here to vent...so let her vent. She's paid for the lesson she's learning and I bet she does not repeat it again. It's called growing up.

poppp your funny u make me laugh...! I have a feeling at some point they will HAVE to pay me because 1) christmas shopping 2) new years parties etc its just a matter of time....Not that I am going to sit here with antiapation because I'm not like that lol I am going to take a stress tablet my husband said he'd find the money somehow and get me my glass table i want so bad, as for money i think ive mentioned i am doing a Dog grooming course and people are Always seeking to have their dogs groomed i'm sorry if i seem like a Drama Queen and all hyped up especially when im so new and nonone really got to know who i really am, I'm 29 years old submissive who's married living in Ontario canada...normally for the MOST part i dont allow idiots to wind me up but when it comes to people making an idiot of me im pretty passionate about sticking up for what's rightfully mine (such as my money) I think people tend to think that they can rip off the Nanny or sitter....i don't really know why but they do! What they don't realize is they should be nice to us because we are looking after their children so they should treat us very very nice....! It can be a very stressful work enviroment, especially with employers who are refusing to pay! I've watch children all my life, its a passion of mine! But that's just me!!!!

A quick google search found this:

Any fees that you are charged to take them to court can be required to be paid by them on top of what they owe you.

Yeah, I'd do it just to show them they can't mess with me. Plus, I bet they've done this to other young girls and that's pretty despicable. (even if they only did it to her, it's wrong)

Ok, you want to collect your past due money?
Next time they need you say " I need the money you owe me first" get ALL the money they owe you, in adavance.
Once you have ALL the money in your hand.
Turn around and walk away, leave the fuckers hanging there needing a babysitter, just like they left you needing the money

That's a good idea, or ask them if they'd like to give you their table in lieu of the money they owe you if it's worth $140

Seriously, maybe you could get them to give you something as a barter exchange...asking for it would at least show that you're serious about pursuing the fact that you're owed money. And please don't babysit for these people again. I'm not a big fan of 'do unto others' so I don't think that I'd mess with them and not show up to babysit after committing to it, but I certainly wouldn't give them more opportunities to cheat me.

Obviouly they shouldnt be going out hiring babysitters IF they cannot afford them...they seem like the type that have kids for the money thats it! I'm going to let this topic finish thought because its taken up enough of all you lovely peoples time and both of our energy! I need to De-stress! So I wonder what everyone is up to for the weekend (im going to Off Topic that) lol Hoping everyone wont judge me as a Drama Queen im really not this high strung normally!

Let him get it for you. He knows how much you want it. Plus he's your husband!

I know you weren't getting the table from them, it was kind of a joke...which is why I used the smiley. But my suggestion of bringing it up to them like "You don't have the money? Ok, well, I kind of like the set of bookshelves in the living room" , it was kind of like showing them you're being serious about getting what you're owed instead of listening to them make excuse after excuse.
