[quote=Anonymous]Being new to the area, I quoted $18 an hour during my initial interview as the care.com ad stated the pay rate for this job was between 15 and 20.  I got the job and have been working for nine months.  I like the parents a great deal, love the baby and am happy with my job.  However, I have since learned that the average nanny salary, with my experience and education, is between 20 and 25 in my area.  I'd like to ask for a raise on my year anniversary and want to get $20 an hour.  That's an 11% increase.  Is that unheard of?

My employers are educated and know the "score" of nanny salaries.  I'd rather not have to start looking for another job but I suppose I will if I have to.  WWYD, Nannies?  And what would you think if your nanny asked for this much of an increase MB/DB's?  My employers are not rich and rent their apartment in an expensive area but I don't know if that matters...  I work 35 hours a week which is a $70.00 a week/$280 a month increase for them.   [/quote]
