I have this little side job which involves me picking an 8 year old boy from school, giving him afternoon tea, helping him with his homework, and then kicking a ball around with him or whatever till his mum arrives to pick him up after work at 5. I like helping her out, and giving him someone to look up to, but I honestly think I deserve a payrise. I earn $2.50 below the minimum wage per hour. How do I ask her to pay me more, without sounding like an asshole?

Is it as easy as saying, "Hey. Could you pay me the minimum wage at least?" I dunno. I don't want to be too straight forward as I know they struggle with finances etc.

5$ an hour is good for babysitting.

a few of my friends would earn 10/15 bucks an hour when babysitting... 5 bucks is CRAP!!!!
