[quote=Anonymous]The tricky part here is definitely that you have the history of giving an annual raise (only for one year, but that is her only point of reference here and annual raises are common for some families). You then have a baby coming about a month after a raise may typically occur, a few months of things in flux with you home with the baby and the nanny there with your other child, then the new schedule.

I would plan to have a raise conversation in early 2018 before the new baby arrives. Tell her you are happy with her care for your kids, etc and then discuss the raise along with details of the plans for the coming year in terms of your nanny's duties so that it is clear that the raise encompasses both the annual raise and new baby raise. If you don't plan to do annual raises in the future, then I would instead be very clear that this is a new baby raise so that the expectation is set for the future. I do think the amount of the raise needs to be at least a bit more than her last annual raise. I like the idea of a $1 per hour raise. That is fairly typical.

Good luck![/quote]
