I'm a junior in high school & babysit for a group of 4 couples every school week. There are 7 kids, two per family except one, & I watch them for 2 hectic, I-want-to-kill-myself hours. Anyway, regularly I get paid $5 an hour for each separate family. So for the very 1st couple of weeks, they were each paying me about $10 for the two hours, & I made like $35 each night & I was like, okay, this is good I can keep doing this. But then I started getting $20 for the nights rather than the $35, and I realized they started paying me only about 5 each. And then the last couple of weeks, one of the couples stopped paying me completely & I'm down to about $15 for 2 hours for 7 kids. I don't want to say anything to that couple though. These people are always changing the schedule without letting me know & sometimes calling me the day-of their meetings, expecting me to show. It's not like I don't have homework; I take AP classes & I get really stressed sometimes. Is this fair what they're doing?
