Underpaid - worth bringing up again

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've been babysitting for this family for awhile. At first, they paid well. Then, they underpaid me a few times. First couple of times, I didn't say anything. The third time it happened, I told them there was a mistake with the amount they sent me (e-transfer). They corrected the amount. This was the last time I babysat for them before yesterday.

This time, they have again underpaid me by almost 15 dollars. Is it worth bringing up or would I be better off not babysitting for this family anymore?

Yeah, I’d move on. The next time they ask, I might respond with something like, “There’s been an issue with you underpaying me. This isn’t working out for me anymore. I’ve enjoyed the time with your kids. Best wishes to you.”

Next time, say something the FIRST time you are underpaid. When you don’t, you’re giving them tacit approval to keep doing it.

I would verify the price when you schedule the babysitting job. Seems awkward, but you need to with them.

Yes, of course bring it up. Text them now and show them their mistake. If you were our babysitter, I would absolutely want to know and correct it. Think of it as an honest mistake (whether it was or not).

You should bring it up to them NOW. Underpaying is not okay.

Then I would be unavailable for at least the next 4 or 5 times they contact you. If you do decide to babysit fir them again confirm the rate via text.

The first time you were underpaid you should have told them and if they didn't give you the money then, you should never have babydat for them again and you should tell every sitter you know how they cheated you.

The first few times, I thought it was a mistake that's why I didn't say anything. I did tell them they had underpaid me the last time I babysat for them.
