[quote=Anonymous]I do not think it means you are about to get let go. You were not out of line but they are clearly FT parents. there are TONS of FT parents that simply don't know it's very common to give an annual increase. Personally though I think a $1/hr jump is very high for 1 year and same number of kids. of course the baby is more challenging - did you expect that it would stay the same? I think you need to frame it as typical for the industry and try to pull up some nanny websites to back that up. But also be prepared for them to counter with a lower raise figure.

Honestly though - why do so many nannies get bent out of shape when FT parents make mistakes that are quite likely due to simply not being familiar w/ the nanny market/norms? YOU have been nannying for years - they are new to this. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to negotiate for typical wages/raises/perks - but it should influence how you approach your MB/DB in asking about things if they don't offer them up front themselves. FT parents who may not realize something is common is a totally different issue from long-time nanny employers who are simply being stingey. [/quote]
