[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB.

No, I wouldn't do this and it seems pretty rotten.  If I knew it was going to be the nanny's last year presumably I'd know that because I was decided that the kids were aging out of the need for a nanny and would be heading for school or daycare or whatever.

I'd be inclined to give a generous raise because I'd know it was my last year of paying a nanny, and he/she would also be facing a job search and change - and that can be challenging.  Right now I know/hope our nanny will be with us for several more years, so every year I have to think about what kind of a raise we can/should give now, that lets us continue to give her raises for the duration of her time w/ us.  So I have to think about what's possible to maintain over time.  (Can I do a dollar an hour raise every year, or will that max me out in terms of what I can afford too quickly and leave her disappointed in the future.)

If I knew it would be her last year with us I would probably try to be as generous as I could, though I might think in terms of my total financial costs including a severance or farewell bonus, as well as an annual raise or bonus.  I'd probably want to work it out so that I could give her a bonus on leaving us or something like that.[/quote]
