[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Whew!! Not the OP, but that is A LOT of money.

I seriously doubt any Nanny receives that high of an amount for a final bonus![/quote]

She took care of your most precious possession for 14 years!  Other PP is correct, a year's salary.  I would take out a loan to do this!!  I don't even understand why OP would need to ask.[/quote]

Hahaha!  You do realize that they have been providing her with a steady income for 14 whole years right?  She got something out of the relationship as well.  Its not like she has been working for free this whole time![/quote]

Haha haha.  She could have had steady employment and probably more income by moving around.

I don’t get people like you, PP.  Doesn’t your industry reward loyalty and length of service?  [/quote]

No - there is no industry that rewards loyalty and length of service - at least that I can think of.  Its all about how well you do your job.

I highly doubt what you are saying.  From what I hear from nannies that I know, its hard to find a new family once you try to command a higher rate.  You are much better off staying with the same family getting a raise every year. [/quote]

I’ve been a fulltime nanny for the last four years and I strongly disagree. It is much easier to move to a new family and receive a much higher rate. You learn more skills and experience with each job (like any career), and as you gather more references, you can negotiate for a higher pay rate much easier in an interview than with going to parents and asking for a raise. My experience has been that parents don’t respond well to you listing how your job responsibilities have increased and asking for increase in hourly rate. They take it personally and seem to take offense at the idea that you’re not happy with the wage decided upon originally. And the job creep is a real thing! The amount of chores parents expect you to do always increases. I am extremely reliable nanny with a one year or two year references for every nanny position I’ve had. I have received a decent wage increase with each new job I’ve accepted, and the raises I’ve received don’t compare.[/quote]
