[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, we love our nanny, and she has been with us for 3 years. She is now at $21/hour to care for one child. She gets 2 weeks paid vacation, 4 days of paid flex/sick days. We pay her legally and use a nanny tax service. She started at $19/hour, and we have given her a $1 raise annually for the last two years. When do the $1/year raises stop?[/quote]

It stops now.

And, she better be excellent and completely flexible and you should be completely satisfied. You say jump, she says how high. You are overpaying about at least $3 per hour since you have 1 kid.

You can get another excellent nanny you absolutely love starting at about $15. I got a former preschool elementary school teacher who didn't want to deal with 20 kids for $15/hr legal. She is wonderful and cooks organic homecooked meals when she is not doing the montessouri method with my 4 year old. Of course, it only works because I was able to invest thousands into the Montessouri classroom materials to set up all up in my house but this is the kind of thing you can do when you are spending an extra $6k/year because you overpay the nanny.[/quote]
