[quote=Anonymous][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, [b]when nanny gets another job, does she charge that or start over [/b](as a career nanny, if you start at $30/hr -- do you then expect raises every year?)[/quote]

As to your bolded question, it just depends on what they can get.  In our market, $15 after tax is a standard starting rate.  When I interviewed nannies, a lot of them were making more than this because they had been with their family for a while and had gotten raises, but were willing to accept $15/hr at a new job with the expectation that they would get yearly raises.  I also interviewed one nanny who had a lot of families interested in her and she flat out told me that she would not accept a pay cut from her current rate.[/quote]
No one with a brain takes a pay cut for a lateral move. Sorry.[/quote]
