[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent.  I could not afford a 25% increase - it would be a deal breaker.  Whether or not it broke the bank right now, or in six months when I figured out an alternative on my own schedule.

A raise at a year, a raise for a new baby, sure.  But 25%?  Who among us has ever gotten that kind of a bump without changing jobs?

I have. you have to remember that they already got a discounted rate for the first year, now this raise would bump her up to standard nanny rates for two kids in the area. They are going to have a difficult time finding a quaility nanny for under $18 for two children. But honestly I'd just look for a different job that will pay my rate instead of sticking out for so cheap. Her kid is in preschool now so she won't have him and I bet she could probably find emergency care for the times he is sick if she absolutely had too. Or just reduce her rate only when her so comes to work with her. There are more families out there that at flexible than most realize, it just might take a longer search.[/quote]
