[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just posted the same thing on another thread...but...

Instead of an hourly wage, that was highly dependent on vacations (no work, no pay)...our nanny negotiated a set weekly salary, that would be paid THROUGH our vacations and hers, no matter how many hours she worked.  [b]And this was in lieu of an 'hourly' wage increase after a year[/b].

As time has passed, and our kids have gone into other activities, her time has begun to 'free-up'...so in the end, she has done extremely well with this negotiated weekly salary.

So a once a year increase in hourly wage isn't necessarily the best way to negotiate your position.  Think of innovative alternatives.[/quote]

I'm the OP.  I also negotiated a set weekly wage with my nanny but it's pretty clear that a raise is expected annually -- basically that the weekly amount will go up at the end of the year.  Are you sure your nanny doesnt have that expectation too?[/quote]

She better not!  Her obligations are decreasing, not increasing...if she expects more, she better speak up, so both she and we can start exploring other options.
She has an amazing amount of perks which I didn't bother to convey...but honestly, she gets way more out of this collaboration than just her weekly paycheck.
She won't find a similar good deal, and she knows it...that's why she stays.[/quote]
