Default Not being payed and im the babysitter!

Here's the lowdown, I babysit my 3 month old neice 6 days a week 45 hours a week right. My sister in law agreed to pay me $10 a day which is great. At first I was watching the baby 4 days because she'd have her friends fill in so she would'nt have to pay me so much om guessing. Then none of her friends wanted to babysit for her anymore so I ended up with the full time position. Well she was paying me at first then she missed paying me a day here and there and then 2 weeks ago she did'nt pay me for 3 days, then she ended up paying me for the whole week. My brother in the mean time had quit his job so I figured they were having money troubles so I would'nt push the issue. Well he sells on ebay and does flea markets and such so he's been making money here and there and he does good. Now they owe me for 3 days las week because she paid me for 2 days and I watched the baby all this week including 12 hours last night! So she calls at 8pm and she is supposed to get the baby alittle after 8 and says im going to go grocery shopping ok? I was like whatever. When she comes at 10pm to get the baby she brings me 3 gallons of milk,2 boxes of cheerios and 1 dz of eggs that she got free from wic and hands me $20. She says here's $20 and with all the groceries I just gave you that should be enough to cover what I owe you! I almost died. I thought you have got to be kidding me. You did not even pay for these few items of food and you owe me like $100 and I have your kid more than you do. I am so pissed right now. When your expecting money and someone hands you eggs it just don't fly. So I don't really know what to do in this situation because I don't want to cause a big fight here but I am the only person who can babysit the little one all week since I don't work. I was thinking I should call my brother and complain to him about all the money they owe me. What do you all think I should do? I still want to babysit, but if she's not going to pay me then im not going to be waisting my time. Thanks for reading this long complaint.
