[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As MB I agree with pay increasing with inflation and merit. If no merit increase, then just based on inflation.

But you contradict yourself on some points.

"Don't give a few pennies?" Inflation was 0.1% (1 tenth of a percentage) in 2008. This equates to a few pennies. In that case, we should not give a raise if the nanny at all, right? Because it is worthless? So lots of nannies should be getting no raise because it was just a bad year and that should be fair. No complaints.

Following your reasoning, if we have a year of deflation, then it is OK to dock nanny's pay?

If you think nanny pay should be based on "common decency," go live in North Korea where everyone gets the basics based on "common decency."

US is a competitive capitalist society. The smartest and the hardest workers get paid more. Welcome to reality.[/quote]

MB that you are responding to here. 
You are dumb for not taking the job. No one wants favors. We are not looking for charity in childcare and neither should you look for charity in pay.
If you job hunt too much for $0.02 cent increase per hour, it will become apparent in your work history and references. You should go for all pay increases as long as it is not too disruptive(eg every month). When you cannot find any more jobs to pay you more, then you are at the best job for you.

I highly doubt the woman down the street offered you $5 more, troll. That was woman would be ostracized in any moms groups if work got out that she stole the nanny down the street. That kind of move, if true, would speak volumes about that woman as an MB. Perhaps you would need that extra $5 per hour to deal with that " I get whatever I want" personality.[/quote]
I prefer parents who want what's best for their children. Then we can be on the same page.[/quote]
