[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re expecting our second child in mid August. Our older boy will be 2 when he’s here and we’re not planning to start him in school until at least January, and probably more like July (bad timing, too much change, etc etc). Wondering how we should talk to our wonderful nanny of 2 years about her expectations for a raise. We’re prepared to offer around $2/hr and she won’t be taking her lunch break (WFH Mom) because it’s unlikely they’ll nap at the same time consistently, so we’d pay her an additional hour (it was a paid break, we just feel guilty that it was a nice perk she’ll no longer have). Should we approach her about this, or should we wait until she comes to us? I’d like to give her a chance to negotiate for herself as well, we would be able to pay a bit more if she had some reason behind it (newborn training, sign language experience, things like that). Thanks! [/quote]

Definitely go to her and present your offer.  Our nanny loves our older daughter so much that she wanted to stay.  We increased her hourly wage by $3 an hour.  It’s worked out extremely well.  [/quote]
