Payment is made directly from the parents to the nanny. The client pays a fee to the agency but the employee (nanny) doesn't. NP here and that is untrue with the agencies I have worked with. The agency might bring in $30 an hour, your nanny would only see $15 worth of that. I know that with her credentials and experience, she could easily be making 25 to 30 an hour NOW thru one of the white glove agencies. I have no idea what she will ask for when she isn't with us anymore and that is none of my business. You do not know how wonderful our nanny is. But, having said that I find it hard to believe a nanny would quit an otherwise nice family (hopefully you are nice to your nanny) with good kids but an unknown family with unknown kids for $1-2 an hour more. As a worst case thing you could give $1 increases up to $20/hr which is top of the market, then stop after that. If my budget is $18/hr that's what I pay, I don't care if you quit a job making $23/hr. When a family interviews a nanny they don't take into consideration how much she was previously making. You are now wasting $23/hr because in reality it is not possible for nanny to quit and go find a new job that even pays more than $18-20/hr. You hire nanny at $18/hr which is a very generous starting salary, then to "keep her" you give her $1 raises for 5 years. Ask her what she feels is adequate compensation above her annual raise for the new baby. Do not lose your nanny for a "foolish economy". Great nannies are VERY hard to come by, OP. I haven't gotten pregnant yet with #2 so I don't know what we will do if we are so blessed.

Helping businesses choose better software since 1999. We are in a nanny share if that makes a difference. Find out how NannyPay stacks up against its competitors with real user reviews, pricing information, and what features they offer. Meaning even if we go on vacation or pick up our child early, we pay her, which I believe is standard around her but the Old Town Moms list serv would have me doubting. What is the standard pay increase? We provide a salary for 50 hours (40 hours plus 10 hours overtime) guaranteed, rather than an hourly rate as this is what was preferred. We live in Old Town/Del Ray and offer competitive pay and benefits and provide a very generous bonus. What is the typical raise after a year or cost of living increase? At a minimum, we were thinking of offering a cost of living increase. We also anticipate that we will have another child in the next year and do not want to price ourselves out. Other neighborhood parents often comment to us about how engaged and attentive our nanny is and we would love to offer her a raise at her one year anniversary. We have a wonderful, hardworking and reliable nanny.
