First raise for nanny

emilyec1

Hello! For those who have had nannies longer than 1 year and have offered a raise, did you offer the raise as a percentage or as an increase in hourly pay? How much of a raise did you offer? Thanks!

Ooh.  Bumping because I am also interested.  Also if anyone wants to talk about holiday bonuses.  Should those be one week/two weeks/some other amount?  I just want to give her what is fair -- she's totally worth it!

Thanks y'all for responding! Sorry to come back to the party later than planned...been one of those weeks! Our nanny too is totally worth anything extra we can give her. We just love her! We gave her a $200 bonus last year. I worried it wasn't enough but it brought her to (happy) tears! @LibraryChica we were thinking 25 cents/hour too so glad to hear you did that too.
