[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We could use a little more information to help. How many hours do you work? Did they need "flexibility " when they hired you? Do you wash their clothing as well (hopefully not!)?  An estimate of what you make? Are you paid legally? How many kids? Ages? All/any in school? Any other pertinent information?

You are doing much more than a typical nanny, but are not far outside he realm of the kids are in school. Though I wouldn't be washing their sheets, gross. [/quote]

I can see how I've been confusing-sorry! I do the whole families laundry, all their beds and cook dinner for the whole family (3 meals a day). Yes they needed "flexibility" when they hired me, but I feel as though they have taken advantage of that. If they come home on time I make just over $20 an hour, if they come home 30 min later I get paid just over $19 an hour. Both kids are in school, so I have time to do some stuff before I grab them. I am paid legally and through Breedlove. There's 2 kids.

So I was friends with them before I started (big mistake I know) so they took another negotiation I had with another family to base how much I would be paid. However, I know their previous nanny (who was awful by the way) made close to $24 an hour and was paid for longer hours and didn't do any of the housework. I'm not a money grabbing nanny, I do the jobs I want to do instead of what is going to pay me more money, but I think I deserve more than the $19 they've been paying me because they don't come home on time. So I'm just trying to figure out how much of a raise I can ask for in 1 sitting. (I've already asked for the raise but they won't give be a no. they want me to give theme a no.)[/quote]

I'm the PP you are responding to. A big question I have is; has the job changed from your hiring or were these the responsibilities you were hired to do?  Either way, you are under paid for the responsibilities. I would tell them that you feel this position is easily worth $25/hr, but that you'd be willing to settle at $23 given your starting salary. You may also want to ask for some more vacation days, depending on what you receive now. Then I would ask them if they'd like to adjust the hours in the work day as you've often been late for your after work engagements.

If the job has changed since you were hired, then I would leave out the settling at $23/hr scenario and simply tell them that you feel this position is easily worth $25/hr and let them respond. Be willing to negotiate and settle for a bit less. [/quote]
