[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure this gets asked a lot but . . . I have been working for my NF almost 2 years and my MB is pregnant (due in April) and my pay has not been brought up It's so awkward to bring it up because our relationship is so friendly and just thinking about it gives me anxiety. So how do I ask for a raise??[/quote]

You can certainly talk about it at any point and it sounds like you are assuming some sort of raise due to the second child.  That would typically kick in when the mother ends her maternity leave (often unpaid) and returns to work.
I'd be patient, but do try to ask if she will be home, how long, family houseguests, preschool starting in sept?, how you should best help.

In my case, they were upfront with things except the raise, which is a sensitive topic and the more you ask the prettier you look about money.  My family put the 2yu in preschool 5 days a week so I could spend more time with the new baby, go to those gym classes with her later, etc. I did get a raise but I only really had two kids on fed holidays, school closing days.

A lot of nannies get nervous when they here starting preschool because that means less hours and a redo of the work needs. They were upfront about needing me full time, but we did not talk money money money until end of mat leave and had a routine down.[/quote]

Yes she has mentioned the half day preschool where it gets over at noon. But then I would be taking him and picking him up and I've never been compensated for gas before. But we rarely drive anywhere, we do parks and play dates near the house. So I figured that could be part of the raise since it will be the same miles everyday.  I'm not nervous about asking any other question except the raise because most of it has been casually dropped into regular conversations by MB. And of course I don't expect the raise to start until after she goes back to work I just feel it should be talked about before the baby even gets here.[/quote]
