[quote=Anonymous]OP, I've been faced with this issue when we had our third child, after our nanny had been with us for 3 years and had been given good raises and - quite frankly - was being paid very well ($18.50/hour). We gave her a nominal pay raise - $0.50/hour - but not anything close 10%. An extra child, when older kids start going to school almost full time, should NOT result in a huge pay increase, especially if they are already well-paid. My nanny actually suggested that we pay her $22/hour - which is pretty much unheard of in our area for 50 hours/week - for the new baby. We told her that we spoke to other families with 3 kids, in a similar situation, and that $19/hour was more than fair. She was free to look elsewhere, and I suspect she did. I also suspect she found out that there was no way she was going to be able to find another job that came close to what she was bringing home with us.[/quote]
