I babysit for this family who is pretty wealthy and they are on vacation so I’m watering their plants. Usually I make $20-$30/hour and they venmo me. When I went to their house today there was $200 on the counter. I don’t know if I should reach out and ask if it’s mine or wait to see if they say something. I don’t think they would just leave money like that on the counter. This is a stupid problem but I’m confused.
Family left $200 on counter when I’m watering their plants for a week, should I ask if it’s for me?

You should ask them. It’s always best to clarify, y’know? A quick text or call can clear it up. If it’s yours, great! If not, no prob
“Hey, I found this $200 on the counter and I wasn’t sure if someone left it by mistake”
They’ll either say yes that was a mistake or we left it for you
I would just contact them and say “wanted to let you know there was cash left on the count, in case you misplaced it when you were preparing to go out of town”.
leave it. or tell them there is money out and that they should be more careful next time and then leave it.
i don’t see why they would suddenly pay by cash instead of venmo.
