When her daughter goes to play softball, i babysit her youngest daughter, who is 2 years old. I babysit her for at least 2 hours once or twice a week. I am 13. each day after i babysit, she pays me 3 dollars. then she asks if she's paying me enough. I dont think she is, but i don't know how to tell her. Please help me!

I agree with Marlion & Zippy. First find out how much other sitters in your area are charging, and then go tell her what Zippy said. And anyways, if she doesnt like it and want to get somebody else to do the job is fine.. I mean, 3 dollars for 2 hours?.. I thought that only happens here in Mexico..

zippy is right. If you don't think you are being paid enough for the service you are providing, you have every right to ask for more. The caveat is that if you ask for what she thinks is too much, she will find someone else to baby sit for her. Before you approach her with a new rate, you might want to ask around to find out how much other sitters in your area are charging. This will give you a better idea of how much is a fair price.
Good luck!

I would Just sit down and talk to her I have the same problem before and I sat down a talked to the woman I worked for and she understood and started paying me more. If that doesn't work tell her your rates are increasing to 5 or 6 dollars an hour

Babysitters get at the very least $5.00 per hour. Tell her you have other babysitting jobs where that is what you get and you feel it is such an important job and you really put your whole self into doing it so would appreciate getting the going wage.

Tell her she is not paying you enough. After all 3 dollars is an insult and would hardly buy a baby's rattle. Speak up girl!!

you're no longer incorrect in any respect. What you do is save each and all of the text textile messages and take some criminal action. you need to consistently tell her dad and mom additionally and once you're paid quit working for her.

Say to her today: "Starting July 1st, my rate will be changing to $5 an hour. I just wanted to let you know in advance."
