[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember that the grandparents may stop coming at 4 pm and want or be able to take all the kids. They do the two now because taking a 3 and 6 year old to the park, etc is fun. Having three, with one a newborn, might change this. So that benefit of being off every Wednesday at 4 pm might go away.[/quote]

I had thought of this, yes. Three is a lot and the grandparents aren't getting any younger.

I'm convinced that something along the lines of $1 more/hour is the right thing to do.

Here's another question - I was thinking we should discuss $ more or less upfront with the nanny once we tell her about the new baby (haven't told anyone quite yet, incl our kids). That way, she knows what she's in for in terms of both workload and compensation. If she doesn't like the comp, she won't be surprised or feel blindsided when baby is already or almost here. Seems like it would take the pressure off any negotiations about the raise. Any reason this is a bad idea? [/quote]

I can't think of any reason why a good sit-down and open discussion with your nanny would be a bad idea.  [/quote]
