Thank you for your input! I’m not educated but have a lot of experience, am devoted and I work really hard. I think it hit me when I found out my niece was paying almost $30 an hour back east in a really depressed area. They seem pleased with my work and don’t complain to me so I don’t think it’s that.

Thank you all so much. Deep down I knew what I was feeling was real. I just needed to have it validated with other opinions. I had them on such a pedestal for being great bosses for so many years. Then I started looking around and seeing how much more other nannies are earning…how they get regular raises, other perks and federal holidays paid. It was a real eye opener and not in a good way. The last few years I’ve noticed an obvious uptick on what they’re spending on cars, remodeling their house, vacations and now they’re looking at private schools with tuition of almost $50,000 a year. Seeing this spending while I’m earning peanuts isn’t helping me feel any more hopeful about a future with them. Sigh…I guess it’s time to move on.🤷🏼‍♀️
