[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same position, OP. I accepted a nanny position straight out of teaching without doing the proper research and found out within a few short weeks that I had completely undersold/undervalued myself. But I made this agreement and intend to live by it for the year. Then, I will ask my employers for a raise appropriate to my market value. If they say no, I will have another position lined up - no harm done - they had my bargain rates for an entire year. If they say, yes, I will obviously stay. But I feel I owe it to my employers to give them the option and not simply leave to take a higher paying job. [/quote] You should give them the option of paying you a fair wage now. They're taking advantage of you and they know it. The only exception I'd consider is if they're poor and truly struggling. Good luck. [/quote]
