[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i mean 8 dollars extra a day is not enough[/quote] That's insane. The COL for the last year is 1.7%. For an nanny making $17 hr for a single child in DC (and that is on the high side of average) a COL raise is a .30 raise per hour. The standard second baby raise us $1/hr. Therefore, a $2/hr raise is a very generous raise that covers both, taking a $17/hr nanny to $19/hr, which is well within the high end of average in DC. Obviously, if your nanny has specialized skills that are worth paying above market, you should pay what you wish and can afford, but it is unwise to overpay her if you want to retain her over time and keep offering appropriate earned raises over time. A second child is in no way double work and don't be fooled by a nanny who fleeces you with that silly argument. Smart, professional nannies know the market rates for their area and price themselves accordingly.[/quote]
