[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you tell your nanny you "can't afford" to give her a raise, make sure she doesn't see you able to "afford" everything else.

Unfortunately, very little can be hidden from your nanny.

That's why you should never use this excuse.  What you can afford is completely subjective and depends on your priorities.

If you are not offering a raise, explain that the salary is still competitive for your market/area and for the duties performed.

Honestly though, we are all disappointed when not getting a raise, and with such an intimate work environment, it can be difficult to deal with.  You can't do something small like $0.25-$0.50/hr?[/quote]
Nannies tend to be much better informed than parents as to "competitive" rates. Logic has it that most parents are relatively new to the nanny world, compared to experienced nannies who've been in the field for many more years.

If you're not offering a respectable annual raise, make sure you have first trimmed your other luxury expenses. Otherwise you may be nanny searching again.
