Annual nanny pay increase

That’s your problem (not using her enough). Why don’t you do some afternoon dates? If you like her, you’ll lose her with no raises.

We did 10%- I do get 10% raises annually from my employer so felt it was only fair. Our nanny works so hard and makes sure our little guy is happy healthy and entertained everyday so she definitely deserves it.

Definitely not! She’s been with us for about 14 months now and in that time I’ve had 2 pay increases that were each 10%. We also give her a cash bonus for her birthday and Christmas. To each their own but nickel and diming the person taking care of our child all day isn’t something that I support.

I think you're a very extreme outlier if you've received two 10% pay increases in the last 14 months. Or are you just paying her minimum wage and you are a lower paid employee?

Your math isn't mathing given the economy.

$30/hr is plenty.

Not every sector and person is harmed in the current economy- we pay our nanny well above average and provide a full package. I answered the question and it’s in line with what our neighborhood also compensates their caregivers. There’s no reason to snark or be jealous of varying household economics. We are fortunate and rather than blow our increases on vacations or non requisite items we compensate our nanny for all the work she does. To each their own.

Nothing like a DCUM nanny pay thread to remind me why I love au pairs. Always had excellent care and paid $10/ hr which made them feel like they were getting a great deal compared to peers.

Shaming people for “only” paying $30/hr, omg!

Genuinely curious about this - we pay our nanny $78k/year - we give raises but if we give two 10% raises we’re already at $94k. Is that in line with what you are paying?
