[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny has been with us nearly a year. We have a 4 yo and an 18 month old. No real changes to her duties that we anticipate. The older one will continue in preschool and the younger one now goes to more classes and is more active generally, but probably less work than as a baby in some ways. We think nanny is great. Just trying to figure out what kind of raise to give her.

Currently we pay her a guaranteed weekly salary of $1,057 before taxes. She works approximately 50 hours/week, but twice a week the grandparents pick the kids up early and spend time with them, and she gets to leave early. Salary remains consistent. Also when we go on vacations, take days off, etc. Another wrinkle: we do not provide healthcare because when she started, she was covered on her husband's plan. We just learned she has gotten divorced and so needs to buy a plan. Since this can't happen until open enrollment, we haven't done anything about it, but I'm keeping it in mind as a changed circumstance for her financially.

I'm was thinking raise her weekly pay to $1100, which would be about a 4% raise. Is that fair? Too much/too little? We will also think about helping with her health insurance, but again, can't do that until later in the year. [/quote]
