Sounds fair. But it also sounds like you could ask your employers if you've hit the ceiling re pay. If you're ok w/ staying at that amount and/or want to stay w/ this family, maybe there are other ways they can give you a perk or some sort of additional benefit as a recognition of your work and tenure, beyond simply financial. Or perhaps there's a bonus option, or some contribution to healthcare costs, etc...?

Seems like if you're 4 years in w/ this family then things are pretty good on both sides, but an honest conversation about compensation, what you can expect, what they can offer, how much longer it would/could work for both sides, etc... is a good idea.

By law, the Fair Labor Standards Act, you should get overtime for any hours over 40 in a week. That is pay and half. You can file a complaint if they are not paying you overtime wages.

We don't have any idea how good you are. If you are an average nanny, then your average pay is appropriate.

Op here! Thank you =]
