[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.  About four months ago, I told my  DB that in lieu of a raise I would rather have better working conditions.  I wanted saran wrap (they prefer aluminum foil to cover the leftovers.  I prefer saran wrap), dixie cups (they are great for things like putting the kids orange slices in, or an ice cube for a boo-boo), a wooden spoon (how in the heck can you stir a pot of pasta without a wooden spoon?), the kids drinking glasses on the bottom shelf (I'm short, they are not).

My employers seemed very surprised but were happy to comply.  And I am much happier in my new working environment where I can do things more efficiently for my style of getting things done.  I have been wishing I had asked for a few other things as well the last few months though.   :)

Anyway, my point was that perhaps you could ask her if she has any preferences for a smoother work environment.  To most people, that would not be as appealing as dollar bills, but if you don't have dollar bills to hand out,  a roll of saran wrap and a wooden spoon just might be all you need to keep your nanny happy for another year.
