Nanny going from 1 to 2 kids

We have a very PT nanny for our 14 mo old son now, 10 to 15 hrs a week. We pay her 14 an hour which is on the higher side of average for our area. We may adopt a newborn due July 5. How much more should we pay her for another kid?

  • 18-19, esp with a newborn

  • I think a 10% raise would be ok; that seems to be what most of my friends did.

  • Our nanny is awesome.  We gave her a 20% raise because she's been really flexible and we will need that to continue. I guess it really depends on average pay for your area and her performance. 

     Good luck! 

  • I would say about $2 per hour.  I would say more (because an infant is a lot of additional work) except that you say you are already paying her on the higher side for your area.
