I had a similar experience, I started minding for my neice (who is only a yung un & a single mum) back in october, I had her little boy for 3 mnths, never saw a penny, she kept saying she was trying to get help sorted out with the payments, she said she was waiting for the government to send her letters etc etc.
She had a part time job and was always ringing in sick, when she rang in sick she wouldn't bring her little boy and expect not to be charged for that day (even tho it was in the contract that she would pay) she refused to sign a contract for 2 weeks until I told her that if she didn't turn up with a signed contract there would be no childcare, she turned up with a signed contract the very next day!
then one morning she didnt turn up, when I contacted her she said that because she couldnt get in contact with me she wasnt bringing the Little one. !! I said I had received no contact from her so didnt know what she meant, she replied with well thanks a lot, now I might lose my job!!
she lost her job and I dont have her LO anymore, but I havnt been paid and she owes me 3mnths, but wont pay. her dad is my brother in law and he has said he isnt helping her out anymore with money etc, so I guess she isnt going to ever pay me!!
I have started minding again and have been for 3 weeks and havnt been payed yet, altho there has been mentioning of payment next week, so lets pray and hope!! hehe ah the joys x x
