[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny similar to those you described. I go into a negotiation high, expecting you to negotiate, but expect to get something in return for coming down on salary. A lot of families simply expect a nanny to lower her salary expectation but make no concessions of their own.

You can offer more vacation time, insurance, be explicit about what I can expect as far as future raises/bonuses, or something unique to my situation that I may find attractive (I'm looking to start TTC in the next year, and would love a family willing to work with me on maternity leave, and bringing my baby, and would be willing to take quite a pay cut.)

I will not negotiate with families who simply say they can't afford my rate, or want me to lower my salary and offer nothing in return. Either you're telling the truth, and you can't afford me, which doesn't bode well for a long term relationship, or you don't value my services and I can easily find someone who does. I want families that value me, and work toward mutually beneficial situations, and I avoid "takers". [/quote]
