[quote=Anonymous]20:01 I am a nanny and I've had jobs where I was out of their price-range and it did put a strain on things. With your job, they included a four year's worth of raises and bonuses in their offer, so it sounds like you were within their price range, just slightly out of reach for a starting offer. I am not talking about a nanny who asks for $20 and family was thinking $18. That is a difference that can be negotiated. But if the nanny asks for a price that you initially balk at, then you should not bend over backwards to redo your budget so that you can afford her (because she won't live up to your expectations if you are constantly thinking that she better be worth giving up XYZ) and if she accepts and offer substantially below what she was initially asking for, then she will feel that she has given too much up. Much better to find someone in the same ballpark.[/quote]
