[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here and I can see what nannydeb is saying. I think what you have to ask yourself OP is, with whatever raise you decide to offer (or don't offer as a pp suggested) what is the likelihood of your nanny finding an equal/better paying job with equal/less responsibilities? The greater this likelihood the greater chance you would lose your nanny. This is why I do not suggest offering no raise at all. Your nanny found a job with you at this rate. If you add another baby into the mix with no raise, chances are she CAN and WILL find a job with equal/more pay with less work.[/quote]

I also agree with NannyDeb. One thing parents don't think about with kids that now go to school, is that the nanny usually will drop them off and bring them home. That is more driving involved than before, it means changes to the younger ones schedule than if they had no older siblings etc. These might not be big huge dramatic changes, but they are changes and yes once you factor in days the older kids need to stay home, maybe help with homework and organizing playdates, the "easy" schedule of having the older kids in school is no longer a convenience, it means changes to everything. Give the raise and your nanny will continue to stay with you and not look for something new quite so soon.[/quote]
