Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
ask for it just tell her that you need the money for something and if she doesnt pay you, you can also just find someone elses kid to babysit and when she needs you tell her that you found someone that gives you the money. dont let that lady make you babysit till she owns you 300$ and i would tell her that she owns your mom all that money. if she told you she will pay you than yea you sould get your money if she said nothing about paying she doesnt really need to pay.
Hope I Helped!!

You really have the right to ask for it and so does your mom. Your watching someone elses kid. thats not your responsibility. good luck on asking *trix*

no you are doing that parent a favor! They should pay you. Next time ask for at least half upfront and then the rest when they come to pick up their child. If they don't like that idea don't watch their kids for them again. its that simple. trust me don't let the parent take advantage of you. you are using your spare time to do something for them and its not mandatory!

well you really can you shoulkd tell her to pay or your not goin to baby sit there is no other way you can do it

You are not being rude by asking for it. You did the job, and payment was agreed. You did your bit, and she now needs to do hers. So tell her. Politely.

give hints off to her without being to obvious about it you may want it but wait a lil dont wait to long like your mom but the mom of the kid will understand if not let her find a new babysitter.

say little things like when i babysat for you your child was so sweet. find things to say about when you babysat that little rugrat

You just have to ask. Don't be embarrassed: you're totally within your rights, and sometimes people need a little polite prodding.
But it doesn't sound, frankly, like this woman is a really reliable employer. If she doesn't come up with the money, I would suggest that you and your mom not babysit for her again, unless you're willing to do it for free as a favor to her.

Next time you see her just bring it up casualy. "Hey do you have the money you owe me for babysitting?" If your nice about it, she will have a hard time saying no. And if she doesn't pay you, forget about it, it's $10. Just say no next time she asks you to babysit.

I don't think you can't not ask for it, but just be really polite about it, and maybe next time ask for the money or half the money up front.
But like I said, be really polite and curtiouse:
'Exscue me *person*, but do you remember I babysat your kids on *date*? You never actually gave me the money for it, so I was wondering if you had it, or if you can tell me when you will have it? Thank you'
