What should you do if you keep on babysitting and they always say they will pay you but never do, and you are too nervous to ask them to pay you?

Well honey you will jut have to take the bull by the horns. After babysitting one day, they run you that I'll pay you later line simply say When! Look them straight in the eyes and wait for their reply! you don't have to be mean! You provided a service. They have to pay up!
]
STAND UP!! tell them if the dont pay you your not watching them no more
]
next time they ask you to babysit tellt hem you can't...if they ask for a reason just tell them that you think it is unfair that you have to babysit and never get paid for it...babysitting is a job that you should get paid for so there is no reason fot them not to pay you
]
let then know that you want your money if you are confident in your service and your abilty to take care of their kids then you should have no problem asking for the money they owe you. i mean if you did the work then you should get paid right? if your parents work didnt pay them do you think your parents would continue to work for them? probly not. so you either need to get your money or tell them that you will not work for them any more until they do i understand it is hard but you earned the money and that is not right for them not to pay you.

oh man... you shouldn't have gone more than once without paying. If they are too poor to pay for it, that's understandable but they should still pay you. You need to talk to them about it. Calmly, confidently, self-certain and confidently. "Hi. Look, I've babysat for you a few times without your payment, despite promises made by you. I'd really appreciate it if you would be pay me or give me an honest reason why you cannot." but before you go... tell your parents you are going to confront them. And if they don't pay you, get your parents to have a talk with them. Good luck! :)

First of all..if you cannot ask for the money get your parents too. As a parent..i am MAD that they have not paid you..what losers..but if you cannot ask your parents...NEVER babysit for them again..plus I would spread the word to your friends..these people are deadbeats!!

talk to your parents they'll help you get the money or stop babysitting until you are paid if they won't listen to your parents

Don't babysit there anymore. They're not your kids, not your responsibility. Or if you were referred to them by a mutual friend, or parent or something tell them instead.

You pansy! Not really...but you need to talk to them. Just tell them over the phone or something, it takes the pressure off telling them in person. Let them know you are irked by the fact that they say you will get payed but they don't pay you. Just rant for a minute or two and then let them apologize and pay you. :) Or you could have your mom or dad call them and then you can just be like, I'm soo sorry about that, my mom gets a little over the top about things like that. That way, you'll look like the good guy and you'll be gettin payed! Hope I helped. -Manda

tell your parents they aren't paying you and stuff .. I'd quit babysitting them; you can find other babysitting jobs.

tell them "i did a service for you, i expect my proper pay" or if that doesnt work, just dont baby sit for them anymore. be like "until you pay me what you owe me for my services, find yourself another babysitter!" or at least thats what i'd do! lol

Like dramaqueenbabeiwb said you need to politely mention to them that they agreed on paying you and say that you need the money for something.

tell them u want your damn money and that that they are doin u rong or u could tell ur parents

You should learn to stand up for yourself. If someone has told you that, you should go tell them. You might be nervous, but they will keep on taking advantage of you, and you will never get your money that you have deserved.

thats sooo bad! i hate when people do that! once i was babysitting these 2 kids for the whole day and i got $4! i think the parents forgot 2 give me a couple twenty's or somethin... so i called themm... it was soo hard... but worth it! cuz they felt sooo super bad and gave me $60! maybe write them a letter! its not fair that u have 2 do all that work and not get ne thing in return (and believe me... u know how hard babysitting is!) say that they must have forgotten to pay you or somehting so u would apprectiate it if maybe they did pay u! if they dont... cross them off ur babysitting list... its not fair that u babysit and dont get paid! maybe they simply forgot... but if ur 2 nervous... write a letter!
hope i helped! good luck!

come visit my column i just opened it up!!

Even if it may sound rude, you need to let them know that you need to be paid. Say politley, "Excuse me, but we agreed that you'd pay me for the babysitting, and I'm not trying to be rude, but can you please pay me soon?" Be honest, but don't be rude.
]
just kindly say to whoever it ur babysitting for, that you need the money, and you don't mind babysitting for them, but when they promise to pay you and they don't its dissappointing. and i mean YOU are the one giving your time and energy to babysit for you, the least they could do was repay you at least some of what the debt is. you should deff. confront them about the problem. but dont have ur parents or nething do it for you, b/c that would come off as immature, just be nice, considerate, and understanding about it. and HOPEFULLLY they will treat you with the same decency. ;o)! hope i was of SOME help! GOOD LUCK! * Brittany *

Either get up the nerve to ask them or quit babysitting for them. If they say they're going to pay you then they totally should.-Hope I helped!-

you shoudl confront them and tell them, i'd be nervous too cuz i hate talking to adults that i don't know very well n stuff. Maybe u can have ur parents go wit u to ur next job and when they drop u off or w/e they can b like oh so i forgot wat is the hourly rate for this job and then wen the parents tell ur parents they can b like is she still receiing this amount ,then maybe it will come up that u haven't been getting paid. Hope this helps :)

you really need to confront them, i know exactly how you feel, i used to babysit my neighbors kids and she always said she was going to pay me when she gets the money out of her bank or some excuse then she never paid me and she ended up owing me over $150 then she ended up moving lol...i know how you feel cause i was scared to ask her to but think about this, either ask her and get your money, or just never get it at all. dont be nervous cause they know that they owe you money and its not like theyre gunna yell at you or something lol, so just say that your going somewhere and you dont have any money so can i have some money from when i babysat your kids please?

next time u babysit as ur about to leave so oh yeah are u gonna just pay me later.. thats what i had to do once! they were like oh yeah!! sorry i forgot. hope i helped <3.RaCh
