one i baby sat for a family and when they got home they didnt pay me i didnt know how to bring it up . they did not even mention it. it was a long time ago..--Answer1:Well you dont leave until they pay you, but next time you ask for it up front...your doing them a favor too ya know....--Answer2:Say it as a joke, like, "Im still waiting for you to pay me!" and then start laughing. Theyll take it the right way!.--Answer3:Well, you cant go back in time, but in the future, always make sure that youve agreed to a rate before you get there.If they call you to schedule a time, ask if theyd like to charge by hour or for the whole period. Theyll ask what you charge, or if youre still figuring that one out, keep it open-ended and ask them how much they normally pay their baby sitters.That way if they try to stiff you, before you leave, you simply say, "It was a pleasure watching the kids, Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So. We agreed earlier that my fee was $10 (or whatever) an hour, so today the total is $40. Thanks, and I look forward to visiting the kids again.".--Answer4:You say : Pay me my money beatch!.--Answer5:Tell them you are bipolar and you dont know what will happen if you dont get your money..--Answer6:when i was a babysitter, after i asked if they had a good time or whatever, i just smiled and said "okay so now you just owe me $$$".--Answer7:Im a nanny on my breaks from college. I actually made up a time sheet on excel and log my hours. Its a lot handier for you and the parents. If this was a one time deal and not an everyday thing: I probably wouldnt have waited this long to mention it, but you should give them a call. Be polite and say something along the lines of "I know you guys have busy lives, and maybe you just forgot, but when I babysat for you on (insert date), I was under the impression that I would be paid for babysitting at the end of the night." See what they say and just remember to keep your cool and be professional..--Answer8:You may want to make sure you are all on the same page. Since it was family, they may have taken it as you more doing them a favor. We do this in our family....when my sisters or husband sisters or any of our parents watch our children, they dont expect pay. However the favor is reciprocated when they need a babysitter.
