[quote=Anonymous]OP, it doesn't matter in the least whether your employers can AFFORD a raise.  What matters is what the going rate is, whether they feel you are compensate for the services you provide, and what they feel your services are worth.  Honestly, $17/hour for a 3yo and a 5yo, 2 weeks vacation, with no housekeeping duties is already on the high side salary-wise unless you have some education-related degree or tons of great experience or something else special about the service you provide.  I agree that having all ten Federal holidays would be normal, so feel free to ask for that.  Maybe another few days of PTO.  If you got those two things, you'd have a pretty good package.

I would think that after 4 years, a family would want to hang on to their nanny and would go up a dollar in salary each year maybe.  But I suspect that they're toward the end of needing you anyway since the 5yo is probably starting K this year and they probably already know that you're at the higher side of the range.
