is she too cheap?
I am a mother's helper for 2 girls 4 and 5, and the first time I went I got like 7 dollars and hour cause she payed me 15 dollars when I was there for 2 hours. Now all of a sudden I only get 6 and hour? I think it chages all the time. Is she too cheap?

yes, she is being too cheap. 6 an hour is incredibly low, especially for caring for young children because they are more difficult. tell her you feel a raise is deserved and hopefully you will get it. hope i helped!

She may not have actually remembered what you got paid the previous time, and honestly messed up. However, the time to mention that has passed; you accepted the money that was offered, and it's too late to go back and ask for more.
The best thing to do at this point is to decide in advance what you will be paid, so that there is no question about it. It wouldn't hurt to put it in writing; just a simple contract describing your hourly rate will do. Then, keep track of your own time and when it is time to be paid, tell her straight away, "I worked for an hour and a half yesterday and two hours today" or something like that. If she pays you the wrong amount, mention it (politely!) right away.
Whenever money changes hands, it's helpful to have something in writing. In this case, it's not for legal reasons or anything like that - it's just to keep things from becoming awkward, and to make sure you're both on the same page.

No, she's probably just running a little low on money. If she went from paying you 7 an hour and now its 2 an hour, than yeah somethings wrong..but if its only a dollar or two, she could just be low on money, or really busy and just give you what she has in cash. hope i helped (:

maybe she just missed counting her money or something...cut her some slack...she does have young kids to take care of
