[quote=Anonymous]Good morning,

My nanny is due for a raise, which for the past 3 years has been approximately 5% each year. She makes a good living, gets all federal holidays, and benefits, etc., helps prepare meals and with groceries, and is truly priceless and adored by our family.

Although the nanny is due for a raise (which we are happy to give), we have a 3rd child coming this summer. I'm not sure if she'll expect an salary increase in addition to the raise, since our oldest will be in school most of the day and our middle will be in school 5 morning a week. This means she'll be with the baby full time, 3 year old part time (but will do drop off pick up for him), and just an hour or two with the oldest.

We view our nanny as part of the family (although she doesn't live with us), and want to keep her happy, while also ensuring that we don't go totally broke. Any thoughts on whether she should expect raise when third arrives? If so, we might just not go a whole 5% for her raise this year, and keep to a lower increase, as her raises have been FAR more than mine or my husband's in recent years, which have been in the 1-2% range!

I'd greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts on this. I want our nanny to be happy, but want to make sure we can continue to afford her too and that we have a winning situation for everyone. Thanks!

Thanks![/quote]
