Am I getting paid.?

I am a full time nanny, and I only get paid $150 a week.am I getting paid too little for the job I am doing? Also, she supposedly made a mistake with her finances, and she can't pay me for 3 weeks.what should I do?

Answer:
BEST TO FIND ANOTHER JOB! SHE SOUNDS LIKE TROUBLE. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN, BUT FIRST DEMAND THAT YOU BE PAID!!
tell her either give me more money for doing this or find another babysitter!
get another job
You hurt yourself when you admit you are being paid too little for your effort.

Prove it - go get a better paying job. If you can't find it, then recheck your premise.
I tried that and was never paid in full for my services. I would say that unfortunately you need to work for money as does everyone else and you would be glad to work for her when her situation straightens out again. Besides 150.00 per week is a bit light for the work I would say.
lots of stuff you didn't say.
- do you get food and/or lodging?
- how many hours do you work?
- how many days do you work?
- how long have you been there?
- was there a nanny before you?
- why did she leave?
- did you ask any questions about working conditions before you started?
- are there minimum wage laws where you are?
- and are you making at least that?

"can't pay me for 3 weeks" is certainly not a good sign.
the rest doesn't sound good either, but there's way too much i don't know to honestly evaluate your question.
You should tell her to find some other daycare. That's messed up. You take care of her kids for a week which is probaly so exhausting and you don't get paid for it. WOW! Daycare is so expensive these days, it's like $900-$1000/month just to watch kids. Let's see how she feels about that. hahahhaha!
better make sure you not getting bulled. get her to pass you post-dated cheques or write down your time contributed in black & white, with your compensation stated and get her to sign after every session.

Worse to worse, check out where is the silver and take it as compensation when she really fails to pay. You can also take the TV, the DVD or the PC /Mac. Wa ha ha ha
