Typical Raise for Nanny in DC

[Anonymous]

Live on Capitol Hill and we're approaching a year with our nanny, who we're happy with. She watches two kids from two families full time during the week. What is a typical raise for a Nanny after a year in this area? I was thinking $1/hour between the two families (50 cents each) -- so from 22/hour to 23/hour. Is that in line with the norm?

There is no "typical" in the nanny world, only random opinions. I'd think you'd each add on a dollar if she wants to stay another year.

For me, it's usually a better financial gain to move onto a new job, rather than stay with an old job.

A dollar per family is insane. 50 cents each is awesome. She's already getting on the higher end of a share rate.

As a nanny if I EVER heard the word "cents" when discussing a raise I would quit immediately. Dollars only hun. And $1 ain't gonna cut it.

Really? This is not in line with anything I have heard. Our nanny is making $22/hr between two families. We are thinking of raising it to $23. From the research I have done, the typical range for 2 kids is 21-23. I haven't heard of anyone making more than $24. If one dollar an hour doesn't cut it, you are suggesting we pay her $26+ / hour? I want to be fair and recognize her work but that seems out of line from what I have heard. Can you explain?

The best explanation I can give you, I'm making $25/hr not in a share. So, yea $26 sounds good, your nanny is probably looking for better offers every week anyways.

Yeah, we went from $27/hour to $28/hour for our wonderful nanny the first year. And intend to keep doing that each and every year!

That is fine for your nanny share, she is already paid more than market for a nanny share of only two kids.

Several in our DC neighborhood make that much for 4 kids/babies.

Where is your "research"?

There is no verified research, so please stop your nonsense.
