Are you going to hire a new nanny or give your current nanny a raise? There are some factors to consider. What\u2019s the age difference between your children? Will one person be able to help care for a newborn and your other child? Does your older child have activities that they need to be driven to? Will you be home for a bit as well <a href=\"http:\/\/www.east-inflatables.com\/Cheap-Water-Park-18-b0.html\">Water Park<\/a>? If you feel as though your nanny will be able to take care of both children and you are even planning to stay home for a bit at the beginning, then you will want to give your nanny a raise. If you feel as though you need additional help, then you will need to begin the search for an additional nanny. Sometimes families only need an additional nanny through the first few months, sometimes the first few years. You will need to decide what is right for your family.<\/p>\n<p>Most nannies will expect to have their nanny salary increased due to the increased workload and responsibility. Not increasing her nanny pay could create resentment on her part and that\u2019s never good in a nanny\/family relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adding a new child to your family may not be as big a change as that first child, however it is still a transition that a family needs to adapt to, and that includes the nanny!
