[quote=Anonymous]Parent here. $5k seems very steep, but it's hard to tell without knowing what percentage of your annual salary that is. We have given a subsidy for health insurance in lieu of an annual raise on occasion with our nanny. It can be a great way to give a significant bump, without the tax consequences. So we have done this because it limits our tax hit and puts more cash in the nanny's pocket. But I would give thought to the context of what you're requesting. A request for a $5k raise would be the rough equivalent of a 10% bump for our nanny - so that would feel awfully high to me and it would have to be driven by some significant increase in responsibilities or hours... But a raise request for anything up to 5% of annual salary I would consider reasonable as an ask, and well within the range of what our nanny typically receives. So I'd think about what you're requesting from that perspective. [/quote]
