With that said, have you spoken to your nanny about this? Have you asked her what she feels would be a fair pay raise? Everyone here will have their own feelings and experiences and preferences but it only really matters that YOUR nanny is happy. (FTR I would expect $23-$25/hr for a nanny share that included three children. I also ask $20/hr for one.)
This. I would lean toward $25, personally. Dealing with two families is much more complicated than dealing with one.
