I understand that nannies are in demand but saw in another post 1-2 dollars more is customary, maybe a little more for convenience of keeping a nanny but almost 6 dollars more after you already increased sounds a little unfair…. Nanny is putting you in tough position by asking for that
Depends on what her rate was before, maybe she was underpaid before? In any case, nannies are very much in demand right now, so she may be factoring that in too, that she could easily (maybe) get hired again by someone willing to pay more.
Well said, thanks. She was on $20 p/h take home before new baby, currently $21.60p/h take home.
This translates to $27.50 gross per hour, before a further payrise to keep her, which already feels heavy. Hence the sleepless night 😔

No I don’t think it sounds fair. She only has toddler 8ish hours a week starting in September but she wants a $7/hour raise to just watch the baby? I would probably oblige because getting a new nanny sucks, but I don’t think it’s a fair ask.
It’s tough but I agree. At this point I would pay anything for my nanny to stay with me! I would give up vacations and go into debt! It takes a village (and people you trust)
Thanks everyone - really appreciate the perspectives to my overnight sleepless worries! Agree with you all - yes it’s a little high, but also yes it sucks finding a new nanny that you love and trust to do the best for your kids.
Good luck!
So... my amazing amazing nanny is now available full time starting this week. She was my night nurse who I absolutely loved and stayed on as my day nanny. She is a baby whisperer - sleep trained my daughter without a tear... highly recommend! I can give you her number if you’re interested.
