[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope you weren't planning on getting any more work from these people again. I would NEVER EVER EVER give a raise to my babysitter, so if she increased her rates that would be the end of our time together. I pay exactly $x per hour for babysitting, take it or leave it.[/quote]

OP here.  The clients that I have, have been clients for 5+ years...some for nearly 10 years.
If they're going to stop hiring me for occasional babysitting jobs for raising my rate $1/hour for the first time since 2009-that is fine with me.
I don't work for asses.  I work for people who I like and who value what I have to bring to the table. 
I would have NO problems finding new clients.
I'd smell you coming from a million miles away.[/quote]

What extra value do you bring to the table for that extra dollar as you watch TV while their kids sleep? You're a babysitter....[/quote]

CPR and First Aid certification
A Master degree in a child-related field
Homework help
10 years of experience
Punctuality
Reliability

The list goes on and on.  I don't work with new families.  I've worked with the same families for years and years.
They know they can trust me and know that I will show up.
I've been caring for their children since they were infants.
That extra dollar buys their piece of mind.
They will very happily pay it to retain my services.
I would never, ever work for someone like you.  
I might be a babysitter, but you're just some a**hole who trolls a nanny forum.
