[quote=Anonymous][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]

I am a nanny who started at $19 as well, nearly two years ago, and was given a $1 raise at my anniversary and will get another $1 in January.  After that, we have decided to do a cost-of-living percentage raise and a merit raise which will be less that $1 an hour.

Talk to your nanny in terms of percentages now, OP.  A 3% raise (COL is low this year) is 0.63 an hour and a decent raise.  [/quote]

+1  This is exactly what I received and am currently at $21.63. I also received an additional vacation day. I think a COL raise is perfectly acceptable. If neither you nor your spouse received an annual COL raise the past year and you don't feel that you can afford one for your nanny, then I would try to add a vacation day and a bonus. Good luck, OP[/quote]
