Our nanny of two years is leaving us to pursue her studies full time, but still will be with us for evening babysitting 2-3 days per week. I wanted to give her a bonus as thanks for all of her hard work (about $500), but wasn't sure if I should do it now, or just give it to her as part of her end of the year bonus, since she will still be working with our family. Any thoughts? |
What did you give her as a year-end bonus last year? I would probably give her half of last year’s bonus now and a separate gift at the holidays. |
Eh, if she will be with you that many days a week I would just do a larger holiday bonus since it sounds like she isn't really leaving 100% yet |
I would definitely give it now. She’s leaving your fulltime employ and it’s a big deal. Plus she probably could really use the money now. |
Do it now--just in case she gets busy and you don't see her much in the evenings after all. |
Give it to now. By Christmas she may have other plans. If I worked for someone for two years and you don't even give a week's pay for a bonus, you would not be seeing me again. |
I vote for giving it to her now. You are marking the end of her full-time employment with you. It will make her a better babysitter later! |
I’d do it now since it’s the end of her full time employment with you and the occasional sitter stuff isn’t the same. |
She's leaving don't give her shit |
