A few questions/concerns I'd like to address....
First off, this is a relatively small town. It is extremely hard to find a job and most of the jobs around here don't pay much above minimum wage. I have two friends who are currently working on there grad degrees that are both highly employable that can't even find work. There just are not many jobs open around here.
In addition to this two hours a day, I also work btwn 10 and 15 hrs a week at my church nursery (which pays $6.50/hr). Because I am a student and would get all my tax money back anyway, the church and the daycare don't take out fed. or state taxes on me (if they do its only like a couple cent) althought I do have social security, medicaid, and all that crap that they have to take out. I am also going to school this summer which is why I am only working a few hours a day.
As to why I didn't say anything about the $$$ at first is b/c she paid me for two wks (which should have been $150) I saw the $100 bill and thought the other bill was a $50, when in reality it was only a twenty.
They are on vacation this week, so I still have the entire week to decide what to do about it.
I don't think I am going to say anything about the lesser amount of money, because they are friends and have always been good to me and helped me out when I have needed. When I babysit for them on normal occasions she pays me at least $10/hr and buys me lunch. I probably get at least $100 a month from babysitting one or two nights a month, sometimes more. However, there are a few places planning to open up within the next month (a new bookstore and a Walgreens). I am going to apply and if I get the job, then I will help her find a new sitter.
