I personally hate commuting, so if I could find a new job closer, that is what I would do.

I could! I love this family though and want to stay!

No good deed goes unpunished.

My commute is an hour each way. I deal with it bc the higher paying families are in DC.

Yes, but going against traffic

OP, are you in the DC area? 25 miles could take much longer than 35-40 minutes.

It's too far, but if you are intent on doing it, I would say at least $40 a day extra.

This is in perfect traffic. I would not accept. Too far and the raise is probably minimal. If she goes to $10 more an hour, then I might accept. Personally, I hate sitting in traffic.

My current nanny family will be moving 25 miles away. The mom has expressed that she really wants to keep me. She said I would get a raise when they move. What do you think is a good about for a raise since that’s 50 miles a day? I currently travel 3 miles a day now.
