[quote=Anonymous]Another Nanny here, agree that you're definitely paying at the top of the market already. Also, I've worked in both DC and NYC and no way is the market such that you should be paying significantly more in DC. Definitely the opposite. Given that you're already paying so high, everything you proposed re:bonuses and raises seems plenty adequate.

The only thing I would consider is that the addition of the new baby should definitely come with not just a raise, but a reduction in house keeping duties. I think it's reasonable for the raise to reflect this reduction in duties (ie: smaller raise than if she added the baby and kept the same HK duties). I also think it's reasonable that if these HK duties are important to you, for you to discuss frankly with your nanny her ability to care for the newborn and continue accomplishing these duties. If you decide to give her a larger raise to continue them, I think it would also be reasonable to include a trial period for this so that you can ensure that both the care of the baby and the housekeeping are being done to your satisfaction, and then readjust after the trial period if necessary.[/quote]
