I'm chiming in to agree with the posters who say to just forget it. I know a woman who took a client to court, won a judgement that she could never collect, and who was then inundated with complaints to licensing that had no basis in fact and I do believe it was this angry ex-client who kept making the complaints and/or having friends do so.

The stress that this caused the other provider was considerable. And THEN she started getting horrible reviews on Care.com under names she didn't know.

Let it go and remember that you never ever ever provide service before receiving payment.

You tried to do a kind thing. You will received goodness 100x over for that. You will. So don't worry about her money. She will lose it 100x over.
