[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Not changes worth a raise, PP.

Normally, I would suggest a $1/hr raise for a new baby, but, since the nanny has a decreased workload, [b]I would offer no more than $.05/hr. [/b]PPs are right. The market is swarming with experienced, legal nannies looking for work. [/quote]

Yeah, because a 5 cent an hour raise is DEFINITELY appropriate. I mean, a new baby is only worth $2.50 a week for extra work.  :roll:

And yes, there are warm bodies, novice nannies, and even nannies with some experience willing to work for peanuts. They'll even stay a little while. Until they find a job that doesn't pay peanuts.

Plus, unless your "nanny" is truly disconnected and pretty useless (or your family simply goes through a new nanny every 4 months or so, meaning your kids don't bother getting attached at all), losing a nanny is a pretty big transition. Is it worth the savings to have to re-train, re-orient, and re-adjust for just yourself, not to mention your kids?[/quote]
