| My nanny’s one year anniversary is coming up. Nothing about her responsibilities are changing but is it expected that we would increase her hourly wage after one year if we are happy with her work? We gave her a holiday bonus. |

| Yes, Nannie’s typically get an annual raise. A dollar an hour is typical. If you’re paying around $25 that’s a 4% raise, which basically is just a cost of living adjustment. Doesn’t your salary typically go up each year, too? |

| If she's good then I want to take her by paying her more than you. |

And what is that rate? |

| Yes, $1-2/hr is industry standard. |

| OP here…when do you stop? Like at what wage do nannies cap out? |

Do her living expenses have a cap? |

| We raised our nanny’s salary $1.50 this year. She’s at $31 hourly, highly experienced and with all the credentials. She’s started right when my baby girl was about 8 weeks. We’re first time parents and our nanny has helped us tremendously with sleep training and meal preparation. |

| Nannies are usually hired until the child goes to pre K |

I was with my last family for 10 years and got a $1 raise every year. Went from $24 to $34 in 10 years. |

Yeah, but in my case we have multiple children, so it isn’t just a 4 year stint. If we keep her until the youngest starts kindergarten, could easily be close to 10 years. |

Troll. This is the most unhelpful response. |

Whenever you want - but then you give other perks - gym membership, more vacation days, etc. |
