[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the feedback.  This gives me a lot to think about. Right now, my nanny is asking for more in terms of flexibility and reduced hours, which I might be able to provide, but at a cost to me (i.e., I will need to do a lot more work at night), and this might be very difficult for me after the baby as I think I will likely prefer more help not less.  However, we do love the nanny, and she loves the kids.  If I do give more flexibility but no raise, is this fair?  Or does it need to be both? I guess I'm having a hard time giving a raise if I decide to honor the hours/flexibility request since it will make my life more difficult rather than easier after the baby comes.[/quote]

I think you are going to end up being very overwhelmed if you give her flexibility in hours when you need more help. I think you will end up being very burnt out. You are going to have to ask yourself if it is worth it to you to flex your hours. A stressed out mommy is not helpful to your family. [/quote]
