[quote=nannydebsays]As a nanny, I would suggest that you look at a 5 - 10% new baby raise, regardless of how long older kids will be in school.

Why? Because generally a nanny is STILL responsible for the care of older kids even if they attend school. For example, if one of the older kids is ill and doesn't go to school, will a parent be staying home with that ill child, or will nanny be responsible for that kid as well as the infant? If an older child is on school break, will a parent be skipping work to care for that older kid, or will nanny be in charge?

The sole exception to this rule is for a nanny who is more of a "mother's helper" to a SAHM, and will truly not see any time "on duty" with older kids when they haven't got school.

If you simply can't afford to give a new baby raise that covers all of nanny's working hours, you will need to explain that to her and give her your reasoning. If you simply offer a small raise that doesn't compare to what she has gotten before or to what her nanny friends get, you may find that she will seek greener pastures when she can.[/quote]
