[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on what you start with, I think. $1/hour is a standard annual raise for nannies (which is about 2% for us), but this assumes that you are already paying market rate. Another thing to keep in mind is setting expectations. If you give her a 10% raise this year, will she expect the same next year? If you do give her a large raise, I would try to be clear about messaging - e.g., that you are giving her a large raise this year to bring her line with the market/keep her pay competitive, but that going forward you anticipate giving a more standard raise. We actually did do this; we hired someone at $30/hour, which was much lower than we expected to pay but that's what she asked for. After six months, we decided we really liked her and felt bad about her undervaluing herself, so we gave her a bonus to make up for being underpaid for six months and brought her up to $40/hour. She's now at $45/hour and has been with us for a while. [/quote]

Said no boss ever! 30$ wasn’t her being underpaid in fact that’s market rate. Stop trolling
