[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP I'm sorry for the vitriol you're getting. Perhaps if you could give us some additional information?

You've said your nanny has worked for you for 2 years now - has she had a raise at any point in the past 2 year?

Also, have you considered looking at other compensation methods to increase her overall employment "package". If you can't afford to give her a raise on her hourly rate could you perhaps offer an additional stipend for healthcare (which is not taxable) or 2-3 additional days of vacation or personal time?[/quote]

I have answered a couple time, and people have either made things up (such as the no raise, I only said the nanny asked for a raise on her two year anniversary, I never said I have never given her one) or misunderstood (like when I said DHs car was 7 years only and its not like we were replacing a 2012 BMW with a 2014. We do not have a BMW and the car needed to be replaced.)

So yes, she did have a raise about 6 months in, and then again 3 months after her 1 year mark. So now 9 months later she is asking for more. We have not looked at other compensation options but tbh I don't think she deserves a new raise.[/quote]

OP, you're fine. People skim quickly instead of reading. *I* knew you replaced a 7 yr old car with a non-BMW. As I said, I think you should fire her. Here's why: since she asked for a raise you now know she wants more money. If she can't get it from you she'll get it from someone else. Either you fire her or she quits on you. You may as well be the one in control. [/quote]

Thank you. Althrough I agree I don't know if she would go through the hassle of finding a new family just for a small bit more per hour. It's not like she asked for a $5/hr raise.[/quote]
