Do you like her and want to keep her? If so, give her COLA and raise.

Exactly. Good nannies can always get better paying jobs.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Have you been out of work recently? I just filled a position and had 48 applicants, and that's with an incredibly detailed ad, a pretty significant job in terms of scope, and a competitive, but hardly extravagant compensation package. The applicants included people with 15-20 years of nannying experience (citizens, fluent, etc...)

If I were a nanny I wouldn't be particularly cavalier about the job market.

In every profession there are only a few at the top. Those are the ones who needn't worry about getting multiple, well-paying job offers.

Of course there's a glut of poorly paid mediocre nannies, desperate for any job you have.

You have no idea what kind of nanny the PP hired. Beyond superstars, which are very few in any profession, there are crowds of those who are simply good, and their fortunes vary with circumstance.

A professional nanny would know that asking for an additional COLA raise is ridiculous.

That's right. I spoke w/ many qualified, lovely, seemingly terrific nannies and had the ability to choose among them.
