Reminder Nannies, nobody will hand you a raise out the blue, this is something you will have to initiate… here are some tips to help you ask for it :
Be clear about your intentions and don’t feel intimidated
Ask in person, not via a text or email message
Pick the right time to ask and do not expect an immediate answer
Be prepared to explain why you are asking for a raise
Show your worth and explain why you deserve the raise
Be realistic with your demand and be prepared to negotiate
If your employer says no to a pay increase, don’t take it personally and suggest other options…
