We have a part time nanny (30 hours per week) and are expecting to increase her pay after baby #3 is born in June. I'd love any input on how much of an hourly increase you think is appropriate.
-
I'd ask her input. You want to be sure she is happy with it so she stays loyal to you.
-
@youboots: I'll definitely talk to her. I just want to have some range in my head going into it and i'm having trouble with that step. I absolutely want to be fair to her and have her feel good about it
-
A friend of mine who is a part time nanny got a $3/hr raise for going from 1-2 kids. Another PT nanny friend got a $2 raise.
-
Has she been with you long? I'd say 10-15% as long as it's been a decent chunk of time and she's awesome.
-
I'd assume anywhere from $2-$5/hr extra, depending on how much you're already paying her. Like if you are already over-paying her for your area, I'd assume lower in that range. If you've been getting away with a steal, I'd go a little higher to keep her happy & loyal!
Generally I tend to overpay my nannies/sitters that I love so that they stick around
-
@MrsF: Do you have a local mom's group in your area where you can ask? Will she have all 3 kids full time or will the oldest be in pre-school or something?
Did you have her when you went from 1-2, and if so, what was the increase then?
-
Thanks for the input ladies! I really appreciate it.
@Anagram: We didn't have a nanny when we went through the transition from 1-2, so I don't have a reference there. My oldest will be in preschool 3 days a week (9a-1p), but she has that same scenario right now so the only real variable is the baby. Maybe I'll post about it on my MOMS club fb page - I feel kind of awkward about all things financial, so I haven't yet.

@MrsF: Gotcha. We pay $3 more an hour when our nanny has both kids. So maybe an additional $3 for the third kid.
