[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, Our nanny "Mia" has been with us for almost a year. We plan to give her a raise at the one-year mark, but I'm having trouble getting a sense of what's normal for DC.

This is her first ever nanny position. We currently pay her $20/hr, with standard 2 wks vaca + 5 sick days + 5 "covid" days for any testing, holiday bonus. (This maybe sounds low for DC proper, but we also cover her health insurance, plus a $600/mo housing stipend so she could get a place without roommates during the pandemic).

She's amazing with my firstborn, and he adores her. We definitely want her to feel like her time and natural talents are being respected.

My instinct here is to offer a $2/hr raise for her 1-year anniversary in a few weeks.  I learned this week we're expecting a second baby in April 2022, so I'm thinking about another $1/hr when the new baby arrives.

Lot of factors here, but mostly I'm asking--what annual raise do you offer your nanny? What raise when a new baby was added? Did the new-baby raise happen right away, or after the conclusion of maternity/paternity leave when they start caring for both kids full time?

Thanks![/quote]
