Default Re: Not being payed and im the babysitter!

Your brother and SIL need to understand that you are HELPING them by babysitting their child and doing so at a very reasonable cost. It is such a blessing to know that your child is well cared for and loved while you are working. The peace of mind alone is worth the $10 per day.

I know several people who have babysat, and gave up because the parents often paid them last (or not at all). It is all to common to underestimate the importance of paying the sitter...when it should be at the TOP of the list.

For the sake of your niece, I urge you talk to your brother and let him know your frustrations BEFORE you get to the point that you are 'done'.
