[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

I am a nanny and earned $35/hr at my last pre-pandemic nanny job. I would never ask for a $10/hr raise. I was always offered increased in $5 increments. Most of the jobs I held in the $30-$35/hr range, all included other tasks in addition to childcare, such as laundry, meal prep, and/or dishes. All families had regular housekeepers come at least once a week, so no major household cleaning.

A lot of jobs pay $25+ for one child, so I do think a raise would be nice especially given the unusual, pandemic circumstances. However, I think the increase she is asking for is unrealistic and most $30-$35/hr jobs I've taken/interviewed for want someone who can pitch in with childcare, household stuff, etc. or there is some unique circumstance. She might be able to make the rate she is asking for in a pod, but that would be more children/more families to navigate. I would make your best offer and see where that leads. If she really wants more money, and you want to keep her, can you look into decreasing other benefits (vacation/sick time, etc.) to get closer to her rate?

Honestly, I think the increase she is asking for is far too much. [/quote]
