Originally, I was hired to care for an 8month old and a two year old. Both in diapers. Recently, a newborn was added. So currently, I have three under 3 yrs old, two in diapers. I also do all of the laundry in addition to other household chores (not related to the children) I make $19/hr. I have rec'd one $1 raise in the yr that I have been with this family.
The baby is 7 wks old and no mention has been made about a raise as yet. Suggestions as to a reasonable raise request would be helpful...GO !

Good grief, what a closed minded statement! $20 an hour to be a nanny, I'd take that offer hands down! Many people who have paid to educate themselves can't even find jobs making that amount of money. .. Not to say nannies aren't valuable or something. Kids are hard work! .. but that was just a ridiculous thing to say... poor nanny, only making almost $40,000... please!
