[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in NW DC and have a wonderful nanny though she has no special qualifications / education etc.  When she started with us 1.5 years ago we offered her $22 for our one child, matching what she had been making with a family for their 2 children.  We pay 1.5x for overtime and guarantee 50 hours a week though she generally works 45.  At her one year mark we increased her pay to $23/hr.

We are now expecting our second child and I was wondering what you'd offer in terms of a raise when she takes over care for that child in about 6 months.  Her 2 year anniversary won't be long after that, would you still increase by another $1 then?

I'm conflicted, a second child is obviously more work but if her pay goes from the lower 20s to upper 20s I'm not sure she'd be the optimal choice versus someone that has specific childhood development education and home-based activity planning skills which I understand generally comes at an upper $20s rate.[/quote]

OP here - we also provide 4 weeks paid vacation (one week of her choosing) and end up giving her off more than that due to family visiting and other events.  Just additional factor for consideration of her overall package[/quote]
