Negotiating an offer, is it too late? - 9 weeks in

I received an offer as a home health aide and I think the pay is a little low. Thank you in advance. The benefits are decent. What wording worked?

Most employers expect a short conversation. Mine did not even blink.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
