Babysitter Help: She demands more money and a date!

I dont know what to do, I told her that I will pay her 89.00$ in December but she wants 303.00$ on Nov 1st….. its only for a week and 2 days. Now shes peed and is blaring her music (which I dont mind cause I like this music)….. We have no written agreement and is there anything that she can do? She thinks that shes intimidating me, but shes being a child about this…..

Tell her what the agreed price was, if she doesn’t like it then she knws where the door is but after that do you really want her looking after your kids?
I know I wouldn’t want someone that immature being responsible for the walefare of my children.

The reason shes doing this is because I fired her for niglect! My son was walking around in a diaper when hes 3 and shes yelling at her fiance in front of him! So shes not with me anymore, but she is my neighbor…

don’t give in, and find someone else. if you were really concerned about the safety of your toddler, you would hire a more professional babysitter.

Then just ignore her or tell her that she is lucky to get what pay she is getting after what she did and also lucky that your not reporting her for it.

She wasnt like this when she was babysitting…. or atleast she wasnt when I came to get him… but he kept comming home with a full diaper insted of going in the potty like he is saposed to and knows perfectly well how.

Can she do anything about this? Can she take me to court or something like that?

I have found a daycare on my way to school, which is NIIIIICE! Its okay.

So I can report her about this? Theres no possibility of her comming after me? She wants 303 for 7 days! INSANE!

no, she cannot take you to court! you’re the one who, if you hired the right lawyer, could sue he for endangering your child. if you paid her for her last job, then you’ve already given her too much money.

There was no written agreement, you said so, she can’t take you to court as it is her word against yours and vice versa.
You can report her for neglect though and she can get investigated if she is supposed to be looking after a child.

She only sat for me for 7 days…. but the last 2 this happened and I told her that my cousin would watch him insted. I was worried. Then she got in my face and yelled at me and told me I was stupid and irresponsible! I am worried about my son, he told me that she didnt hurt him. And there are no marks.

I would pay her what you owe her. WIth a check so you have proof of payment, and then be done with her. If she keeps bothering you, I would make a police report.

Honey, babysitters are a dime a dozen, get a new one. There are tons of teens looking for some extra money.

Good,

She obviousley has some issues going on to be that way, maybe money issues that is why she is pressing you for more cash so don’t let her problems become yours.
Pay her what you owe, nothing more, if she starts about that you can cancel the check lol but honestly if she does get to be more of a problem just keep reporting her and if need be get a restraining order so she can’t go near you or your kid.
