Not OP, I am an MB replying to the OP's post. I don't give annual raises just because.

I don't quit just because, either. Good thing this works both ways.

MB here. We have done a $1/hr raise for 3 years in a row. This started out being approximately a 7% raise and is now more like a 5% raise (as her salary increases the percentage decreases.)

It's starting to max us out and I don't know if we can sustain that annual increase for many more years, though we'd love to keep her for at least 2-3 more years.

My annual increases have always been in the 3-3.5 percent raise, when I got one (I don't always get them.)

I have typically received or requested around a $1/hour raise, or about 5 or 6%. For the first year I think 3% is on the low end, and if that was all they could do money-wise, I would counter for more PTO, and be prepared for this to be your last year with them. First year raises are typically the largest, and will get smaller from there.

What i look at is my annual take-home. For a nanny making $700 or $750 a week a 3% raise would be an extra $1100 or so a year.

A drop in the bucket.

I don't understand this. It seems like its pretty much standard (I've actually never heard otherwise during my whole time on DCUM) that nannies salaries are in $1 increments. So let's say you are making $18 an hour and you say your employer offered you a 3% raise.... did they actually offer you $0.54 an hour more? I've never ever heard of that in the nanny world.

In that case, you already know your options, right?

OP here. I did not write, "No."

They can, but they probably pay me a higher percentage of their income than most do. This is an assumption based on their style of living.

So sad that an evil poster thinks it's ok to pretend to be you. She's probably a poorly paying mb, and wishes all nannies to be poorly paid.

Yeah right how to avoid these types of MB they can't even leave nannies on their forum. I think she doesn't have any friends so trying to stick her nose every where.

We give a dollar each year and after two years, an extra two days vacation each year.

No.

Can they afford better?

Do you get/give annual raises? What are they typically? My employers offered me a 3% raise after the first year, though I am used to receiving more. I understand that there are a lot of other aspects to consider, I was just wondering what others have been getting. Thanks!
