[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:06, I have had many jobs and have gone many years without a raise.  My raises come when I get a promotion or convince my employer that a raise would be appropriate based on superior performance, a change in duties, or market conditions.   Often adjustements are made every two years, although in that case the raise often reflects the fact that it has been two years since a prior increase.

And no one here has suggested that a nanny should work years without a raise.  The OP has only been in her job for 15 months; that is not exactly "working for years without a raise."[/quote]

She has been there 15 months and if she has been doing a very good job during her time with them so far AND is not just dealing with a child with more energy, BUT also doing more within the job than maybe was originally stated (extra job duties that were never mentioned and slowly became added on), then I think a raise at this time is totally fair.

Now if she hasn't been doing a great job in the minds of the parents, just average work, and these duties were something that were already expected of her once the child started to reach a certain age (like cooking all 3 meals once child is eating foods and not just on bottles, etc), then a raise is not necessarily due at this time.[/quote]
