No one is getting a 5% COL raise in this economy. A 3% raise would be generous, if she has been an exemplary employee.

If you are expecting another child in the future this could warrant an increase but if you set a precedent for high raises even year and gave a bump for another child you will quickly end up a few dollars way over market for your nanny.


OP here. Thanks. No more children coming. She started mid-range and I had already figured out what 4% would be, so I guess I am right in the zone. Thanks for the confirmation.

What is the going rate (percentage) on raises this year for nannies in MoCo? We are approaching nanny's one year anniversary. We'd like to give her a raise that is consistent with other nannies in our area.
