[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, MB here.  If you're in the DC area I think a $2/hr raise is appropriate.  An hourly rate of $19 is very competitive and still leaves you room for increases/raises etc...

Discuss it with your nanny of course, but I think $2/hr is fair.  Got to 3 if you can afford it and she's really fantastic.

Would you double your workload for such a minuscule increase in compensation? [/quote]

Offer a nanny position, in the surburban DC area for 2 kids at $19/hr and you will be FLOODED with really skilled, experienced, applicants.

OP's nanny might not accept the offer but tons of other people would jump at that rate.

That's purely on the basis of rate.  If this nanny and OP have a good working relationship, everyone is happy in the job, benefits are good, nanny enjoys multiple kids, etc... then all of that factors in as well.

For a nanny with a fairly typical 50 hour work week a $2/hr raise (with the resulting overtime bump) would equal almost $6,000 in additional compensation annually.  That is hardly miniscule.  [/quote]
