[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's unreasonable to raise your rate or ask for perks/extra benefits after 2 years, but unilaterally raising your number of hours seems weird. Like, what if they don't need that much childcare? I would be baffled if my nanny did that (unless there was some reasonable explanation -- I.e., I use that many hours 50%+ of the time but won't guarantee them, then maybe).[/quote]

OP here.  Not my hours, my guaranteed hours. I generally work 24 hours on weekends, two 12 hour shifts, but an only guaranteed 10 hours when they go out of town.  They go out of town frequently at a moment's notice after I've already blocked out the two twelve hour shifts for them.  I want to increase my guaranteed hours, not my actual hours.  [/quote]

So, in other words, exactly what I said would be a potential exception in my post?[/quote]

Not OP but you don't seem to understand what guaranteed hours are.  This employer asks that the nanny keep 24 hours on weekend open for them yet only guaranteed 10 hours.  To keep a nanny available for those specified 24 hours the nanny must be guaranteed payment for those hours ( otherwise she could have booked another job during that time). You cannot tell someone to be available on these two days from this time to that time and then not pay her for those hours when you decide to go out of town. [/quote]
