[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$17/hour for 3 kids especially 2 with special needs and then an infant is insane.  You should be making at an absolute minimum $22/hour and I think that is the low end.  This family is taking advantage of you.  It's nice to have a reference from your current family but in this situation I don't think that is possible.  It's not unusual at all to be looking for a job and your current employers not being asked for a reference.[/quote]

Oh wow thanks pp. OP here. I suppose my area is important too. We are in Atlanta, Buckhead to be exact which is not cheap by any means, but I think Nannies make less here than the DMV area. I checked care.com and it said at least $18 per hour,  but that doesn’t account for my 10 years experience and the special needs part, or the 2 years Ive been here.

But thank you so much for putting this in my ear. I was thinking at least 18-20.

But as far as the looking part... after I negotiate and if they still can’t budge should I let them know then that I have to move on or wait and do so quietly? I’d hate for them to think I am only saying that to threaten them etc because I will really mean it.[/quote]
