[quote=Anonymous]As a full-time nanny I make a very good wage, but I am saving aggressively right now for graduate school so I end up taking on a lot of babysitting jobs on the side. As my schedule gets fuller and fuller, I have been starting to give priority scheduling to the families who pay me a higher rate (some families pay me less because I began working for them back when I charged less). I guess my question for nannies/sitters is, when your rates go up how do you explain that to the families you work for? Parents, how could your long-term sitter let you know her rates were going up while still maintaining her relationship with you? To be clear, I totally understand if my new rates mean some families choose another sitter - I just think it would be better to give them the choice rather than just declining to take the jobs they offer and scheduling a higher-paying family instead.[/quote]
