[quote=Anonymous]OP, your problem is that she is already on the high side. 26$/1 child is a bit above average. But it is what it is. The request for a raise is a reasonable one. I'd counter with 1$ per hour. She would have to find a wealthy family who pays $28 or more for 1 child out of the gate. The insurance request is a different matter. As someone pointed out, between $2 raise and insurance it can total ~700$/month raise. That's neither reasonable nor customary. I would decline to pay for insurance. Maybe a good counter would be 1$/hr and a limited amt towards insurance, like $150. So the total raise would be more like ~300, which is still generious, but not 700$. You can also have an open conversation with her to let her know that you value her, but your costs and bills are also up, and you haven't had a windfall in your financial situation that would allow you to pay extra $700 per month.[/quote]
