[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It normal for everyone to get an annual raise, unless there's been some mitigating factors. It's a regular fact of life that prices go up every year. For everyone.[/quote]

NOT TRUE AT ALL.

Average wage for nannies 5 years ago was like $13 an hour, it's $13 an hour now, and it will be $13 an hour in 5 years. The only thing a raise is for is keeping the nanny you have. If you have the money and you want to keep the nanny on or reward her for a good job then so be it, [b]but to EXPECT a raise for doing an average job for a long time is [/b]foolish.[/quote]

What about if you're doing an above-average job? Should you expect it then? Honest question.[/quote]

I think a raise is earned, so if you are doing a job above and beyond when you started and you aren't being offered a raise then I think it is more than fair to ask for one. These people that think just because you work a job for a certain amount of time that you deserve more money are crazy. You want income, they want an employee, everyone is already square. [/quote]
