[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sorry! hijacking this thread since I also had this question as we approach the 1 year mark. What if you are already paying on the higher end? We pay $18/hr for a really easy child (she takes long naps - 2-3 hours, etc) - not a share.

Same.  Cost of living increase plus merit increase of up to 5% ANNUALLY is standard and the only way to keep a good nanny.  The length of her naps have nothing to do with it since she will soon grow out of the long nap and I assume the nanny has other child-related responsibilities when she is asleep.  [/quote]

Whether the nanny has other responsibilities when the child is asleep is irrelevant.  If you want to keep a good nanny, you start the nanny at competitive wage and give $1-2/hr increase per year.[/quote]

If pp does this, in 3 years you think she should pay $24/hour for 1 easy child? I'm sorry, but I totally disagree.  Maybe up her to $19 but at some point there's a cut off salary-wise.  What we do is give increasingly generous bonuses each year. We also have added little things over the years like cell phone and help with a plane ticket home (another country) etc. to show appreciation.[/quote]

If she starts at $18/hr, it's $19-20, $20-22, $21-24.  $24 would be the top, if the child is easy, you do the $1 increase, no brainer.[/quote]
