When ever i babysit for this one family, they never pay me until weeks later. Im kinda shy to ask for it..but what should i do?

Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
tell them you have other plans or u want to be paid the night u babysit or before. its not fair to u
]
I would give them a notice saying that their payment is due. If that doesn't work, tell them that you need the money for supplies or whatever. Don't be embarrassed, YOU EARNED IT. ♥

Hey, just be like to the mom or whoever and be like im saving up for a sweater or shirt but i dont have enough, i hoped i could get babysitting money.

p.S- If they dont pay you then maybe you shouldnt work for them.

STOP babysitting..see whne they go get GAS for their car..the cannot tell them I will pay you later..or if they get FOOD they do not say..oh later..
so..DO NOT babysit for them untell you say..i need the money BEFORE now due to late payment..ok.
I am sorry but they are totally using you..and they are the CRUMMY adults who should be made to babys sit for minimum wage.
Ps if they object say see YA..unless you really like the children..but then get your paresnts to talk to them.
Grr..sorry but they have totally takne advantage of YOU!!!

i kno its hard to ask these things but sometime u need to. i have the same problem. but last month i went up to the parents of this child and told them that i needed to be paid to help pay for something i needed and they said they were sorry they didn't have any money and i told them that i couldn't babysit for free anymore and that i would not do it anymore unless they paid ahead of time. so try what works for u just explain what u mean and it do good(by the way they did start payin me ahead of time)_____Mo

Next time they call you to babysit, you tell them that you don't have a problem babysitting, but you need to be paid that night. If they say that they can't do that, then tell them you can't do it.
]
You should just call them. It will take a bit of the pressure off. Just ask them if they could please pay you on the night you babysit and not pay late. Hope I helped

Just ask them. Unless they're close family friends or something of the sort, I'm sure they KNEW you didn't just watch their kids for kicks. Plus, it sounds like they're still paying you, right?
]
well do you get paid? im guessing yes, so they are a bit late big deal. if you need cash now and youre shy about asking them you could always borrow money from someone else.
]
If you want the cash you have to speak up. but be polite you don't wanna sound rude. ay something like could you please pay me tonight because i need the money. good luck
]
No what you mean! just ask them next time be like can i have my pay or w/e you wanna call it lol now? because im going shopping or something! hope i helped!

Well in that situation I would take the easy way out, by getting someone else to do it for you. Or you could casually tell them that you were hoping to have the money within the week so that you could go do something or spend it or something.
]
well if i was you don't be shy i'd say somthin to your parents first. if your parents tell you to handle it on your own like mine would just politley ask be like is there away i can get paid a little bit earlier then i usually do.

You need to be asertive. When you get there... double check on how muc htthey are paying you per hour... etc. Then ask them if it is possible for you to start getting thie money the night you babystit or the next night. just be polite.

It's hard to ask people for the money they owe you when you feel like you're lucky to have the job in the first place, but think of it this way: They're lucky to have someone who is reliable and available to watch their kids. People don't leave their children with just anyone, so obviously they are quite happy with you.
I'd go this route: Next time they call you to babysit, say yes, and then say "This is perfect, I wanted to go to the movies this weekend (Or whatever) And didn't have the money." They'll understand then that you don't babysit becuase ou have nothing better to do, you babysit BECAUSE YOU NEED THE MONEY. They'll get the hint.
]
i really think that you should go up to them and ask for them to pay up and be like i need this money and if they dont pay it then say i cant babysit until you pay me.
]
Dont be shy! just tell them casually that you need the money, call them up and say something like: When should I pick up my money? Don't directly ask them for it. Hope I helped! >also, dont be shy, its a bad habit (i used to be extremely shy :))

I used to be in this situation myself. You need to ask this family for the money, otherwise both of yall will forget. If she or he doesn't have the money right then, then ask for it the next day. The more u ask, the more likely that u'll get ure money. :-) ~amc~
