[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of other industries would, indeed, cover the cost differential if they wanted to retain the employee. Especially in this area where commuting costs are substantial. I think it's absolutly worth raising with the family and concur with making it a seperate conversation from the salary discussion. If there's already a good, professional relationship there, then raising the issue can't hurt.[/quote]

This exactly. There are jobs that pay a transportation stipend if they suddenly require the employee to travel significantly further than they used to. There are definitely things that nannies can do to make this industry more professional, but that doesn't mean waiving every possible benefit that is unfamiliar to all MBs. All industries have some basic similarities, and they also have unique dynamics. Asking for a transportation stipend is not necessarily unprofessional if done correctly. Being professional lies in your attitude and the manner in which you handle issues. [/quote]
