[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I would give a raise, because:
- 3 kids are a lot, no matter the age
- a newborn is hard work, and an adopted newborn may carry additional weight in terms of the emotional adjustments for all
- there will be days.  Guaranteed there will be days.  When your nanny is managing 2 or 3 kids.  Sometimes those days will be foreseeable - like a teacher enrichment day or holiday when the parents have to work.  Sometimes, often, those days will be days when one or more kids are sick.  Those are the big ticket days - the days when you need a rockstar nanny so your world doesn't fall apart.
- the couple of dollars an hour you're talking about to (hopefully) make your nanny feel valued and appreciated, will seem like easy money - peanuts - on the day when you desperately need her.

Don't be penny wise/pound foolish.  If she's a good nanny that makes your life easier, make the job attractive and rewarding for her also.  It will pay off for you in the long run.

Good luck and congrats on your new baby!
