[quote=Anonymous]Another MB here and I agree with not offering to discount your rate.  That is a lovely mindset but don't offer that.

If you are coming up on a work anniversary you could perhaps proactively say something like "You know, as I am coming up on my third year with you all, I just want to say that I consider myself very lucky to have great employers, and to be paid well also.  I also want you to know that I'm aware there are ceilings on things so I wouldn't be expected a raise on the anniversary of employment.  I would far rather have another few years with you all than worry about $1 more an hour or something."

If you were my nanny that kind of outreach would be huge (and probably financially rewarded if I could swing it but certainly would create a lot more loyalty and attachment."

You could also say that you'd like to know a bit about their long term plans as you'd love to stay with them but you understand the finite nature of nannying sometimes.  That would open the conversation a slightly different way.[/quote]
