[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My salary doesn't have a cap so I cannot imagine imposing one on our nanny.  Nanny is at $27 an hour now.  This year, in lieu of a raise, we covered her health insurance.  [/quote]

OP: I like the idea of offering other benefits too.

Some positions do have salary caps -- like some government jobs, there are ranges and levels.

I guess my question was more -- does everyone end up paying $35/$40/$40/hr by the end? And then, when nanny gets another job, does she charge that or start over (as a career nanny, if you start at $30/hr -- do you then expect raises every year?)[/quote]

Most people don't keep a nanny that many years. There are a lot of people who only have a nanny for the first two years, and then another chunk to four years old, and another to kindergarten. It's a small, very affluent group that keeps the same nanny throughout their children's childhoods. I do understand how if you have multiple children you could end up with more years, but still, 8-10 years of nanny care is less than most families pay for.

Also, not all nannies stay forever, even with good pay.

So, I do imagine that there are some nannies who continue to get raises every years for a decade or more, but I also think this is such a small segment of the nanny population that you can't say for sure what the norm is.[/quote]
