Hey mamas,
I’m a single mom to a 5 year old little girl. Me and my daughter has been staying in a Airbnb for going on 2 years next year where I work for the Airbnb host. The job is a basic cleaning job where she’s SUPPOSED to pay me for the hours I work but instead she is withholding my check because I am currently 6 weeks behind in rent.
I have had constant conversations with her where I feel controlled and suffocated because she’s controlling my check. Now I know that if I was to file a wage claim I would have to leave probably immediately because she would probably have to retaliate. Plus, she hasn’t been reporting my hours. This whole set up just isn’t sitting right with my spirit anymore.
For example, if my daughter is sick she would pressure me with scare tactic messages early in the morning. At this point I don’t know what else to do. At this point I feel like I would have to find another job because this dynamic isn’t working and depending on this set up would put me in a very dangerous situation.
If there’s any advice or anything you recommend I would gladly appreciate it.
