Stop working for her.

If you had another job, outside of your family and it was the only way that you got money, would you stay at that job? I highly doubt it.

It's not fair that she isnt paying you. You are spending your time helping her watch her baby and clean. You deserve money for that.

She probably thinks that since you are family, she doesnt have to do it. If you are uncomfortable with just quitting, try talking to her first. If she wont listen, you really need to stop working for her.

Best of luck!

Stop doing work for her of any kind until she has payed you the full amount she owes you.

hah, i had a problem like this not as bad as yours but i was supposedly getting "paid" for walking my neighbors dog every day and i never did so i just stopped going to her house to pick up the dog. and i called her up and said very nicely and politely "do you still want me to keep walking your dog because the lack of payment makes me feel like im doing something wrong." so just say the same thing but talk about babysitting her baby instead. and if she says she will do it later and doesnt give you the money the next day, just say im sorry but i feel like im just being used so im going to have to stop since your not doing your part of the deal and dont come back. she cant do that to you!!!!

i would just stop coming. Yes shes your aunt and its not nice to be rude but she has no place making you do all that.just tell her you have plans when she calls and eventually she will get it, or i would tell her that you "have" another babysitting job that acually pays you and you would go to her house because shes supose to pay more or w/e

This is simple enough. Don't babysit for her anymore. Tell your parents you are not babysitting for free any longer. Call up auntie and tell her she needs to find a new sitter. Never sit for her again unless you see some money first. She is the rude one
for taking advantage of you. :)
