Default Re: Not being payed and im the babysitter!

A similar thing happened to me. Luckily though it was friends not family so that made it a bit easier to do what I did.
I agreed to look after my friends little girl while she went to work. At first she paid me but then it was excuse after excuse. When I asked when she was going to pay the money that was owed to me she promised to have it to me by a certain day. That day passed with no money insight. The next day she came by to drop off her daughter before work only to have me tell her that I was no longer prepared to look after her daughter and she would have to find someone else to use. She couldn't and lost her job.
We never spoke again.
OF course with family it is a completely different kettle of fish. You need to talk to your brother and while you are there up the rate of pay. I wish you success.
