luxury watches for women brands image

I am 18 almost 19 years old, and I am babysitting a 4 month old baby boy. I am CPR certified and have my drivers license. I have no idea how to begin asking for more money, because I feel that it would be rude and I don't want it to seem like I am ungrateful. I have the baby from 5:30am till 4:00pm, so almost a 12 hour day. I watch him Mon-Fri every week. She is paying me every two weeks, so over 100 hours... She is only paying me $100.00 a week, so $200.00 every two weeks! Every one I have talked to says that is ridiculous and not even right! I have talked to several mothers with babies around the same age and they all keep telling me that to send a child to daycare or to be babysat is aroud 400-500 dollars in my area. How do I begin to tell her that though? I used to babysit her older son and daughter as well but now they are in school and live with their dad. So I have been around a long time, but I was never full time babysitting them. At that time I was getting paid $5.00 an hour for both kids, which wasn't bad because they were older and not as needy. But this is practically a brand new baby! I mean I see the baby more than the mother does! Not to mention he is a very needy baby, he costantly has to be held. For him to sleep he has to be held, i have to be pacing the floor to get him to go to sleep, but the second i put him down he wakes up and cries, as well as pacing the floor to feed him. He does not like being put down. I understand that because he is a baby, but to rock him for 10-12 hours isnt okay!!So i am pretty much getting paid $2.00 an hour. Help, what do I do?
Answer
First off, you need to determine what you want to be paid and more importantly, be prepared to quit and find another job if you're not satisfied with the outcome.
From the sound of your situation, it seems like you're doing this for a relative or close acquaintance, which can be a little uncomfortable.
Instead of marching up to her and asking for more money, let her know that if your financial situation doesn't change, that you'll be forced to take another job and she might loose you altogether as a babysitter. Remind her of the personal, all day attention her baby gets, and that will not happen in a daycare even though they charge more for their services. Let her know the toll it takes on you and any mother would pay a fortune if they can find someone to devote that "one on one" attention to their precious baby. Let her know that you're actually depriving yourself of certain freedom and luxuries because of the time it takes and the low pay involved.
Do all this with a sympathetic tone and not an angry or demand one. but be firm in what you what. Have a figure already in your head that you're very comfortable with and let it be your figure. If you don't nail down a number, she simply say "i'll give you a little extra then" and when payday comes around she'll probably give you and extra $50 which is not what you had in mind and then you're back to square one.
If she says she can't do any better, then its up to you to decide how much longer you want to keep doing this and the current rate.
