[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a myth that a nanny's workload doubles with a new baby.

$1-2/hr is standard raise and very fair.[/quote]
Is that what you get paid??[/quote]

MB here.  Actually, yes.  As a salaried employee I don't get a 50% increase in my salary during high workload periods.  And for the last two years I've gotten 2-3% raises.  I thought a nanny was getting paid for her time, not piecewise per diaper change, etc.  So while I can see thinking that $1/hour might be too small in some cases, the idea that it is double the workload and therefore double the salary is totally silly.

I am interested in this question too.  Do any other nannies care to comment on how this worked for them and how they felt about it ? If you really did get a doubling of your salary (or some other big increase) or if you left because you felt the job was too much for what you were being offered that's fine, but I'm guessing that real info is much more useful than abstract outrage.
