[quote=Anonymous][quote] I guess the real deal breaker was watching them splurge on all of these expensive things and they can't even do by right by me when I'm doing what they asked. [/quote]

This is a childish attitude and you need to stop it. Grow up and take responsibility. It was your responsibility to be professional and negotiate your compensation package upfront. Your employers were honest with you but you were basically not honest with them about what you wanted and required.

You should think through what you plan to ask for from a professional rather than a childish (I just deserve it, if they can buy X they should give that money to me) perspective. Think through the monetary value of each new benefit you wish to ask for (guaranteed hours, how much paid vacation, paid sick time, paid holidays etc) and figure out what the annual increase will be to the overall cost and how this relates as a % to your existing compensation package. If its more than a 5%-10% cost increase, you need to be more realistic and dial back.

You also should consider the market that you are in and your negotiating position. Are you paid on par or higher than most nannies in your area? Do you have other employment options or was this the only offer that you found? Benefits are less common with positions under 40 hours. [/quote]
