[quote=Anonymous]You say she's been with you for over a year -- have you given her a raise up to this point? It's standard for nanny families to offer an annual raise of $1/hr (or more if warranted). In addition to that annual raise (consider it cost of living or performance based; clearly you must be happy with her to keep her on, especially with your expanding needs), you should also add more for the additional responsibility of the babies. $1.50-$3 more per hour is standard for /one/ additional baby. In your case, if you haven't previously given an annual raise I'd offer no less than $2.50 more per hour.

Honestly, if she's a great nanny you're lucky to have her. And if your rate was on par with what other nanny families in the area offer for the care of one child, offering any less than $3/hour for the addition of infant twins will make your compensation lower than similar jobs (two infants plus preschooler) in the area, and you'll risk losing her to either a similar paying job with fewer charges or a higher paying job with similar responsibilities.
