need some advice

Okay, so.. I have a cousin who I have been babysitting for for the past I don't know.. maybe two months? From 10:30 to about 3:30 or 4. And she pays me in god damn donuts. She works at a donut joint. And it sounds bad, but I don't like watching her kid. Especially if all I'm being paid is donuts. I offered because I figured, oh I don't have anything else to do, I'm not working any more and I'm starting to regret it.

I think she caught wind that I wasn't fond of the donut payment. Every Tuesday. Like, I can't pay for an upcoming wedding with donuts, I can't buy birthday presents with donuts... she asked me yesterday if I'd be willing to get up EARLIER and she'd pay me $10-15 for the day. That's not going to pay for a weeks worth of groceries.

How do I tell her I don't want to babysit anymore, especially when it's not worth it?
