[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you necessarily need to offer a raise. It's uncommon to pay for someone's commute. Workplaces move now and again and workers are rarely offered a raise for just that. It would be one thing if her job was changing and she earned a raise, but this is not the case.

That said, if you really like this particular nanny and you want to give her an incentive to stay, $1/hr is plenty of extra money for such a small change in commute.[/quote]

I don't think anyone is suggesting that a raise is required. Its not. This is about retention. The nanny just started and she agreed to a certain position. They like her and want to keep her, and don't want the increased commute/cost to cause her to leave. One of the huge reasons I took my current job is because it is literally a 10 minute trip from my house to theirs. I LOVE the extra time it has given me in the morning and evening with my husband, and it would be a big deal to me if that changed, maybe enough to make me quit if I was otherwise not thrilled. OP is trying to prevent such a situation, and she is a smart employer who will easily retain any nanny she likes. Take note those of you who advise against any and all generosity. [/quote]
