I babysat 2 girls for a ladie who works on base. Since I have been watching her kids, she only paid me on time once. As of today she has not paid me in 3 weeks and is not returning my phone calls. Am I SOL or is there anything I can do to get the money she owes? 

BoatsnHos --- 14 years ago -

small claims? I dunno...are you a legit daycare provider? 

SewnLove --- 14 years ago -

I'm not a certified day care provider no, but I'm not running a day care, I'm just babysitting 2 girls. Small claims may be an option.

Pfft!!!! Call her freaking job and bug the hell out of them, so she can get in trouble, and pay you!!! Thats freaking BS!

Screw small claims, make her lose her job! 

BoatsnHos --- 14 years ago -

I don't know what the laws are there concerning in-home daycare. Before you sue her, make sure you aren't breaking any.

So short sided, YDKM. The goal is to get the money. It's really hard to get your money outta unemployed folks. 

SewnLove --- 14 years ago -

Yeah, I was supposed to watch her girls today from 3:00pm to midnight. My husband called her work earlier and asked to speak with a supervisor but they don't want to get involved. I had a friend call her earlier and she answered. My friend said sorry, wrong number. I tried to call right away and she never answered. I left very polite messages telling her how concerned I was but she is ignoring me.

Yes, I have called. I was told from the State that I can't watch any more than 4 kids at any given time. 4 kids or less is legal without being certified.

As of today it's over $300 danica.

Better to see her suffer the consequences of screwing someone from their well earned money.

That is what my husband is thinking. He says we are SOL and that small claims will be more of a hassle than what it's worth. It's really sad though, my husband and I like helping people who are having difficulties. I was only charging her $20 a day for both girls because her family was supposedly going through rough times, plus my daughter really enjoyed playing with the girls.

You would need proof for court. Like a contract, or sign in sheet, reciepts

Put her name on here and let everyone on here make fun of her bummy a$$ if u dont get ur money then hopefully het shame will be enough.. ps its ur fault to dummy, u worked for free. If she didnt pay u when she was supposed to, u shouldnt have kept going back.. duh! 

IWearHisRank --- 14 years ago -

You're awesome Platty!!! 

danica --- 14 years ago -

Leave her a message and tell her that if you don't receive the money by a certain date, that you will be contacting a lawyer. that might scare her into giving it to you lol 

RaeRie (Mod) --- 14 years ago -

Please don't post her full name on here without her permission. I'll just have to delete it.

I'm very sorry you're in this situation, though. Been there, done that, and have the t-shirt. In the end it's more of a life lesson than anything else. 

SewnLove --- 14 years ago -

Well, you can't argue with that. Like I said before though, she was late several times, but always ended up paying. She has never ignored me like this though. I was just hoping she was being honest and having difficulties but she proved me wrong. She worked at the sleepy tortoise lodge on base and her name is Ashley.

Yeah, I'm going to call her tonight while she is working so she'll hopefully have to confront me. Then if she hangs up on me I can call management and tell them their employee was rude and hung up on me, lol. 

PLATYPUS PERRY --- 14 years ago -

SewnLove --- 14 years ago -

Probably. I beleive their was a post a few months ago of somebody asking if they ever babysat and not gotten paid. Maybe it's the same person and she is running a scam. At least everyone will know who she is now, lol.
