[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another whiny nanny who thinks she is worth more than she really is and wants to screw her employer because her friend makes more than she does.  [/quote]
I don't believe you have any idea what she's worth. If you continue with these troll posts, we will have to start reporting you. 
Please stop. Thank you.[/quote]

Not a troll, but it gets tiresome hearing from these nannies who agreed to a rate and then all of a sudden realize they should be getting so much more an hour. [/quote]

Do you also tire of parents who agree to a job, then desire to change the schedule, duties, or compensation? Or do you believe a nanny's purpose is to serve parents without regard to her own needs? OP is coming up on her one year mark. Is that not an appropriate time to reasses and renegotiate?[/quote]

A lot of this happens because things aren't clearly spelled out up front in the contract. My boss tried to get me to work on a couple of days I wasn't supposed to and I was able to go back to our contract and let her know I wouldn't be working. No issues. Some parents will try to add things, but you have to stand your ground upfront. But yes, I do believe a nanny's role is to serve the family, but not be a doorstep. And when I say serve, I mean be a help to the family, not bring her drama to her job, think she knows better than a parent what is best for the child, our job is to make their life easier and to work with and for them, not against them. 
  Sure  OP can try to renegotiate her contract and that is fine, but she shouldn't be doing it because she thinks that is what the other nannies are getting, but because she has gone above and beyond the call of duty and not just do the bare minimum, like so many other people do. [/quote]
