I love my job most of the time but sometimes I feel like I go above and beyond with no real thanks. Like everyone I'm sure. We are coming up on my year end review and I have a good idea what will be offered but I'd like to counter that without coming across as pushy.

I work 40 hours a week in suburb outside Los Angeles.  Initially my only job was the direct care of newborn twins. Not even laundry was asked. Over the year it has evolved into much more. I am happy with the tasks and duties- that isn't the issue.

-Care of the twin girls
-Care of older brother (2)
-All kids laundry
-All meals including cooking a full dinner for kids
-Prepping adults dinner every night
-Cleaning up from the night before (toys,etc. That were clean when I left)
-Doing family dishes from night before
-Unloading DW
-Keeping stock of pantry
-Grocery shopping
-Kids clothes, diaper,etc shopping
-Coordinating schedule for cleaning company and gardeners....

I am sure there is more I'm leaving out. And again I don't mind doing all of this.

But it is a lot with 3 kids under 3! Especially with educational games , field trips, and classes.

My starting salary was $23/hour two weeks vacation, holidays. Gas reimbursement

After 6 months it was up to $24/hour mainly because the older child was bullied at preschool and now staying home with me all day.

In passing my employers have said in February we will raise your salary to $26/hour for your yearly bonus.

I would like to ask for $27/hour plus another week of vacation.

Or something like that.

Is this too much?

I don't know any parent who could accomplish all that. These people are taking advantage of you, OP. Let them pay up or leave. Don't be stupid. They have no respect for that.[/quote]

Oh please.  Stop with the drama.

That's a lot of work, and it's a high salary.  Sounds like a pretty good fit of nanny and family to me.[/quote]
