[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I tell nanny I am expecting a 2nd child, should I tell her at that time that she will be receiving a raise and how much it will be, or do I tell her later?

I am worried our nanny may not be thrilled with this development. Currently she and toddler DS have a really fun schedule-they spend mornings out and about (at storytime, parks, play dates) and then go to her home for lunch and DS naps there. They return in the very late afternoon.

When new baby arrives I’m worried it’s really going to throw off their routine and they will be stuck at home a lot more. I also work from home, which I know most nannies hate (but I always have and our nanny took the job knowing this).

I’m hoping a substantial raise will help soften the transition so want to tell her when I share the news. But also this won’t even come into play until January 2019 (after birth + maternity leave), so I don’t know if it’s premature.

Any tips or thoughts for me?[/quote]

Why is she taking your child to her house for lunch/naps?  Who provides his food there? Is it done to avoid you since you are working at home?  She has a very easy gig now as she is able to tend to her own household chores/dinner prep while he is napping or maybe even sleep in her own bed. No cameras in her own home, right?  This is going to be a tough adjustment, not just because of the baby but because you are probably not going to want her spending afternoons at her own house with both kids.  Have you verified childproofing and other things that might be important to you (non-smoking, any other adults or children in the home while he is there)? [/quote]
