[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. FWIW, I think a $2 raise puts us at an hourly rate at the upper end of the spectrum for our area based on surveys I've seen for 2 kids, so glad that seems reasonable. [/quote] A smart nanny also sees a second child as a guarantee of a job for at least another couple of years. Yes, the first year will be hard. But the past two were easier, and as the older one starts school, it will get easier again. You're not going to lower her rate when your younger one isn't an infant anymore, and there's no reason to pay a premium because she will be for some period of time. Nannies, if you really think you should get a huge bump for a second kid, what you're going to get is replaced by a new nanny who starts with two kids at a couple dollars per hour more than you started with one. And then you can move on to another one-infant family, and good for everyone.[/quote]
