You can ask for a raise, and if you are not earning enough at this job, you are free to find another job which pays better.

Um, so you are making like prison inmate rates? You put in your 2 weeks and then you find another job that pays at least $13 an hour which for an 8 hour day is $108.

You set up a payment system where you specify per hour and how many hours a day you work and then you type it up and present a bill.

if you elder doesn’t pay, then you leave.

Do you live there rent free?

You can give notice and resign.
After writing your letter of resignation you can go to any local facility that gives elder care, Nursing Home, Assisted Living Facility, Memory Care or Board and Care and apply for an entry job.
Good luck.

Stingy with their money? Who isn't? Like any other job, if you don't like the pay, look for another one.

An agency will pay you more. Get an agency job and then resign from that client. Refer them to social services or Care.com. Them being old, stingy and clueless is their problem, not yours.

Quit! It sounds like you are being paid at best $200 for a full 40 hr work week. That’s less than $7.25 hour which is minimum wage for some States. Find out what the minimum wage is for your state, this is to east what you should be making per hours and properly reported via FICA.

Get a job with an In-home healthcare company so that you are paid regular reportable wages along with benefits.

How many hours per week are you working, and what is the hourly pay? Is your patient paying the employment taxes as well?

Instead of adding more work for yourself, why don't you line up another job that pays better through an agency or Care.com.
