Nanny/In-home sitter PAY for 2

Hi ladies,

How much of an increase are you planning on giving for the second child? We are not going to double her pay, but I really am not sure what amount is fair. Currently we pay $40/day.

It's already a great deal, I know : )

 TIA!

Well, given she is an AMAZING deal already and you aren't planning on doubling her pay, I would give her as much as you can afford in between.

When I nannied and the family had a second child I got a 50% increase although keep in mind I was making waaaay more than your nanny so doubling my pay was out of the question as well.

I would think that going to $60 a day would be fair.

I agree with pp to go as much as you can. You are getting a good deal. I nannied  for four, and was getting 145 a day.

DS goes to an in home provider and we pay $25 per day (includes lunch/milk/juice), unless he goes half a day and doesn't eat lunch there then it is $10.  I am not sure if it would be the same price for # 2 since she won't be feeding the baby food and I haven't asked, but I have prepared myself for $50 a day, but hoping it will be a little less.
