[quote=Anonymous]Agree with the last couple of PPs. I work for an incredible family and I Know they hired me at the top of their budget thinking they'd move into daycare after a year or so. Then they realized how helpful having a nanny was and then came #2 etc etc and there has never been a raise at my job NOR has there been any animosity. They were honest with me about their plans and budget, they treat me wonderfully, and I would never leave such a great job and family in the hopes of an extra $1/hr. Be descriptive in your appreciation of her, express regret that you can't afford a raise, do give holiday and birthday bonuses that you can afford, perhaps offer her additional perks in lieu of a raise but ONLY IF POSSIBLE (more pto or health care contribution - tax deductible). However, if you are truly stretched to your limit that is simply that. If you're this happy with her, chances are she's also quite happy and will not hold it against you that finances just can't allow for it right now. Also I agree not to make any promises about future raises, just express your gratitude however you can.[/quote]
