[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We live in the suburbs, as do the friends we want to share a nanny with. We currently pay our awesome nanny just over $20 an hour for a toddler. We were hoping to pay her $25 an hour in the share, but she wanted $30. We don't think either family would go for a share at $30 per hour total, since one of our key motivations for having a nanny is not having to do much pick-ups and drop-offs.

We are also hoping to have a second child in 2022, and exiting the nanny share arrangement at that time. If we did end up doing a nanny share at $30 per hour total, would our nanny be able to adjust back down to a wage of $25 an hour working just for us?[/quote]

A $5 per hour raise for another child is more than fair. High, even. I agree with you that $30 is unreasonable, and you'll definitely be locked in on that when it goes back to just your family since it'll be the same number of kids. I would MAYBE offer $26 if you really like her and want to make it work, and $13 per hour per person still saves you a fair amount over the $20 per hour you're paying now. But I wouldn't go higher than that.

(I'm the first poster above who pays $12 per family per hour in a downtown DC share).[/quote]
