[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is probably not getting a raise because the workload is reducing and the family's need for her is decreasing. From her post it doesn't sound like she has any duties beyond light nanny ones (kids laundry, cleaning up after yourself and the kids is the lowest threshold). Her charges are 3 and 5 now. $850 a week for a 3 and 5 year old is pretty close to the ceiling where most parents will start considering using before or aftercare if they are in a good preschool and school. Some parents use this time to switch to a nanny/housekeeper who provides more value and would be less than $850 a week. Other families might consider an au pair or even just a part time nanny.

I just think that its less likely that the OP is going to get $900 a week for 2 school age kids, very few duties, more time off as the 3 year increases preschool time, and additional paid holidays. Good luck if you do get it but with the ages of your charges, your rate, and low duties I would be more worried about whether they plan to keep you in the fall. [/quote]

+1 It sounds like you've hit your ceiling with this family and should start looking for ways to increase your value/expand your duties or accept that its time to move on to a family that needs you. Four years is a pretty good run! There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that its time to move on. [/quote]
