Why would the nanny not get a yearly raise?

Continued...OP, to be fair to yourself, you should look at the facts. The facts are that you are currently paying for 1/2 of a nanny. Once the new baby arrives, you'll be getting 1/3 of a nanny, assuming she juggles it all well. So because the scope of service you receive will be diminished, you should in all fairness pay less.

No, you don't get to pay less. The other family should obviously pay more since they will have 2 children in the share. $4 extra for the infant might be okay depending on how much she makes now. What is her hourly rate currently?

Yes, she does get to pay less because she'll be getting less. The nanny would be getting more in the net sense.

Look at it this way. If you were setting up a brand-new share for 3 kids, how would you do it? You would set a rate good enough to take care of 3 kids, and you'd split it 3 ways. Each family in a share would pay less (vs. a single-child rate), but at the end, the nanny would be getting more.

Here you have a share with two kids that will soon become a share with three kids. The rate PER kid goes down, the overall compensation goes up.

You ask the nanny how much/hr she wants for three kids, and you split it three ways. You pay one-third and the other family two-thirds.

Newborn care for an extra 2/hr? You are INSANE. So is any nanny who would take that crap.

Pp here, $2 seems to be a pretty standard new baby raise, but I was mostly suggesting those numbers as examples. Depending on the nanny's current rate, they may or may not make sense.

I must disagree with this. Few legal domestic workers would accept such a low increase for providing care for a newborn baby. Maybe if you have illegals and every extra dime is better than none.

^^No discount, she just doesn't doesn't give nanny a yearly raise. It ends up balancing out anyways.


Then would one family give a yearly raise and the other not give the raise? I am confused by this. I say everyone pays the same and the family with the extra child pays more than $4 for the newborn.

Oh and yes, the nanny is fine with the extra child. My only concern is that if we give a $4 raise, is that fair for all concerned? Or should we take a slight discount.

We are planning on giving the nanny a $4 raise for the newborn.

You keep your current rate and the other family pays the additional cost for the care of their newborn. Do you know if the nanny wants the additional workload?
