[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thought I should mention a few things that may be relevant:
 
1) I live in portland, or (I'm from DC and have read here a lot but haven't really posted anything until now; I moved here in June 2012). The going rate for nannies is less here, but the cost of living isn't really /that/ much less than in DC (I share a small, crummy apartment and my share of rent plus utilities is $700/month, if that gives you an idea. Plus I'm still paying off my student loans, etc.)

2) Their family is well off financially, so it's not a question of whether or not they can afford it, but rather, are they willing to pay it. For as "comfortable" as they are, they do seem rather stingy to me (they don't offer me paid sick days or vacation days, etc).

3) Their 2.5 year old son has always been a somewhat difficult child, hasn't napped since he was 18 months old (so I don't get a break at all), has been showing multiple early warning signs of ADHD, and just requires a higher level of care than the average 2.5 year old. (Which I think should factor into my pay rate).

Anyway, in case those things matter, there they are...
Really looking forward to your responses, thanks in advance.[/quote]
