[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our fabulous nanny of two years currently watches our 2 year old. In a few months she will also be taking care of our twins when I head back to work. How much more money do you think I should pay her? I plan to discuss with her, but wanted to go in with an idea of what might be expected. She is legal, drives and works 40 hours a week for us at $17.50 an hour and we live in Silver Spring. I appreciate any advice on what a typical raise for this situation might look like.[/quote]

You're overpaying right now at $17.50/hour for one child.  That's too much.  With that in mind, I would raise to 20-21/hour with the addition of the twins.  You have to make sure to leave room for future raises too.

PS - don't listen to these nannies who are telling you ridiculous things like 25/hour.[/quote]

I make $25 an hour right now for two. And they aren't in diapers. There is a whole spectrum of pay out there, especially in DC with the huge range on incomes, so I don't expect everyone to find $25 an hour but $17.50 is hardly overpaying for a legal worker who drives their own car and has an education...[/quote]
