I actually babysat my nephew for three years with out pay. He is four now, and lives in another state, but when they come home I still do it for free.

If you want her to start paying you, just ask her nicely. You can't get something unless you ask. Simply introduce a reasonable pay rate, and don't demand anything. It should work out in your favor.

Good luck. <3

Just flat out ask her. Yes, she is your family, but if after 3 months she hasn't started paying you, she's extorting you for money.

You don't have to be payed the same as if you were babysitting someone outside of family, but at least ask for a reasonable rate.

If your sister doesn't start paying you, tell her that if you leave, she'll have to start paying someone probably a lot more than what she would have to pay you, since you're family.

If any of that made sense, that's a good thing ;]

Well. First, you could flat out just ask for some money for doing it.
Another way is when she asks you to babysit tell her "Oh, well I am not sure. I am trying to make money so I may be doing another job or something"
