[quote=Anonymous]We did not pay health insurance in the first year, but added it as a benefit in year two (partial payment of plan).  In year 3 we increased our contribution.

Nanny selects her own coverage (though we did help her try to figure it out as it's kind of a nightmare).  You do not want to be in the business of determining his/her necessary or desired level of coverage, nor do you need or want to be privy to the full details of her personal health status.

We do not guarantee annual raises in her contract.  We have given them but we do that based on performance and how we want to be as employers.  I would never guarantee it as I wouldn't want to be locked in if performance were substandard.

I would increase pay for additional kids, but I don't see why that would have to be in a contract - though maybe the nannies who have been burned would feel that would be a good idea.  I would be fine w/ some level of language in a contract around re-evaluating compensation in the event of a significant change in job responsibilities, hours, household needs, etc...  If you put language like that in make sure it covers more than one scenario and is protective for both employer and employee.[/quote]
