A flat fee is in offset here. Napping/sleeping is irrelevant..you're still there caring for the kids and there if they need you. Rough math out what the schedule s like at $16/18/20 or $16/20/22 rates. Figure out how much that is a week and flat-week or flat-day rate it out. No hourly crap in this situation. <br /><br />Value yourself and stand by the math. If she takes issue this family is not for you anymore.<br /><br />-angiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-82263811004017065062015-05-16T22:55:36.887-04:002015-05-16T22:55:36.887-04:00It's not about credibility.

I tend to seek 2 dollars per new baby and maybe 1 per year. So they owe you money. Have you ever been asked to sit down for a review? That's always a good time to increase rate and or discuss issues.Nannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-87437561782822845572015-05-16T20:50:35.379-04:002015-05-16T20:50:35.379-04:00I don't think she has lost any "credibili...I don't think she has lost any "credibility." It's never too late to ask for a raise. And if they feel she lost "credibility" by not asking sooner, she can just find someone else who will pay her better.<br /><br />OP, I would ask for at least 2 dollars more an hour. If they say no, start looking for a better offer. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-37328023337004477692015-05-16T18:00:45.052-04:002015-05-16T18:00:45.052-04:00Hi!

Mom cared for her 99% of time but as she is older now and schedules are changing, she will be in my care. Also, sometimes she will have her older two while I have the youngest, and sometimes she will have the youngest and I have the 2, or sometimes I will have all 3 while 1, 2 or all 3 are napping or sleeping. That's another reason why I am just confused on pricing/what's fair. Any ideas from nannies or other parents??Original Posternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-83061114535660488682015-05-16T13:02:49.746-04:002015-05-16T13:02:49.746-04:00Since you're
