[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to decide/figure out a couple of things before you say anything to this family.  First you need to decide how much you actually want/need [i]this[/i] job.  It doesn't matter how much this family can actually afford to pay.  I think you are the poster in the other thread about birthday presents, right?  This family sounds pretty stingy so based on what you have said I don't think asking for an almost 40% raise for a second child will go over well.

What is the going rate for 2 children in Portland, OR? If you think you can easily find a job making $18/hr for 2 children then by all means, ask for the raise.  It's highly unlikely you will get it and honestly if it is well above market rate there the family may be frustrated enough to just let you go and find someone else.  If you think you can easily find a job for that if they let you go then you have nothing to lose by asking.  If you think you deserve $18/hr just because you want it then I would think carefully about the consequences.  FWIW it's not saying you don't deserve $18/hr but I don't know what the going rate for a nanny for 2 children is in Portland. [/quote]
