A little different because both DC1 and DC2 are still below pre-school age, so they're 100% in the nanny's care during the day. But we added $1 an hour while on maternity leave with #2 on the theory that the nanny would be "helping" a little bit here and there, but not doing full-time care of DC2. And then when I went back to work, added another $2 an hour.

+1. And started the increase immediately. You want the nanny to spend time with the new baby while DC is at school and she’ll be helping with washing bottles/pump parts/newborn laundry, etc.

Being a parent alone sometimes with both my kids is a HUGE amount of work and stress. I always wish we could have increased our nanny’s hourly more.

I am wondering how much we should increase our nanny's pay with the birth of our second child and when we should increase her pay (immediately following our second child's birth or when I go back to work after maternity leave).

Additional Information: We have a set schedule of 8:30-5:30. We currently our nanny $20/hour and give her 2 weeks pay for bonus, one week of pay for her birthday, 10 sick days, 2 weeks of vacation, and money for health expenses. Our daughter recently started preschool 4 days a week from 8:30-11:30, but our nanny's hours have continued to be from 8:30-5:30 as those are the agreed upon hours. Our nanny does our daughter's laundry and may make her an egg for breakfast and a PB&J or heat up leftovers for her for lunch, but other that that doesn't do housekeeping or meal prep. We also bathe our eldest at night and plan on bathing our kids

together at least until they are older.


Forgot to mention that the current schedule is 8:30-5:30 Monday-Friday and won't change with the arrival of the second baby. Not sure if that matters.

Nannies are not Housekeeper!!!
Wow. You seems to be a wonderful employee. No adding any Housekeeping chores to your nanny, even she is off all morning. As making egg and help heating food/leftover made already it takes just a couple of minutes. And keeping paying her full salary. I wish all employee were like you. Your nanny must be very lucky.
