Default Re: Not being payed and im the babysitter!

gently sit her down and ask her what the situation is, are they having problems? Do they need some help? Would it help her to have a little calendar so she would know when you worked for her and when she paid you? You could put on inside the kitchen cabinet and note when she paid you and what and how much. Tell her each day the two of you can discuss what is going on and how you can help her, but taht she needs to be honest with you. Ask her if you can help her manage what money they do have. Does she work this much that you need to sit for the baby? why does he husband not watch the baby?


My sister runs a daycare and i cannot imagine anyone taking advantage of someone like this. it is so sad, but if they are having trouble it might be better to talk to her. Say each evening when she leaves, i'll note todays work on the calendar. Also, gently explain to her that she is defrauding the sate in giving you free items from the WIC program which could jepoardize her ability to stay in the program and could have the state prosecute her for fraud. Be very careful for that. Highly illegal and could get her in serious trouble if the people who administer the program find out.
