[quote=Anonymous]Here's my experience, most new employers to household staff either don't realize that their staff deserves benefit packages which includes raises, or are cheap. If you work for middle class or working class, they typically try to avoid paying more. Upper middle class usually offer more benefits and raises. If you live in a major city, it's understood that many nannies get raises, which is most east coast and west coast cities where nannies are common. 
Now, if your working in a major city with first time employers who are middle/working class, you will probably have to make sure yearly review and possible raise are included in the contract before you sign. This allows you to bring it up with ease if they forget.

When I first started I had similar views as some of the other pps, that I should just be grateful for a job then I realized my worth. If your employers truly valued you they would express in ways other than verbal; huge yearly bonus, raises, extra pto etc. if your just getting verbal praise than they don't think to much about you or see your value. That's when it's time to leave. 
The nannies who are scared to leave for fear of not finding another job are those with little education, skills or truly live in area where nannies don't exist and are unable to move.

If you know how to market yourself then finding a better job is possible but may take some time, So plan accordingly.[/quote]
