[quote=Anonymous]I am planning on asking MB for a review/raise tomorrow. I have been with them just over a year (which they did not recognize, which is why I'm bringing up the raise) and feel I'm due - I do not make much to begin with, and have been a very reliable, flexible, and responsible nanny for them.

I've never had to ask for a raise before and while I understand how it works in an office setting where you're negotiating a salary, I'm not sure how to ask for a $1/hour raise without outright saying "I would like to ask for a $1/hour raise", which seems too forward. I am going to preface it by saying that I've been with them for a year and was wondering if they'd like to do any sort of review - or at least discuss anything they'd like me to do differently or anything new they'd like to change. I have gotten basically zero feedback in the year I've been with them - lots of appreciation and affirmation that they're glad I'm working for them, but never ANY sort of negative feedback, which makes me nervous in a way (what if they're silently stewing about some weird habit I have or something??)

Anyways, what I'm asking is for a script of sorts. I'm really bad at stuff like this but do better if I have a pre-planned idea of what I need to say. Problem is, I have no idea how nannies normally ask for raises! Thanks![/quote]
