[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first time with a nanny so want to make sure I understand and don’t upset her expectations. Nanny started in May and we thought we’d give a bonus and a raise in May next year. If we give a week’s pay for Christmas what (if anything) is expected in May? Are we also supposed to give her a raise in December or do we wait for May? Thank you. [/quote]

You can do either, but the important thing is to communicate.  I have had families where I started mid-year but they prorate the first year (and didn’t do a raise since I hadn’t been with them long).  I have also had families who did a small $100 something around the holidays then did a bonus and raise around the nannyversary.  But since this is the first year, younjust need to check in to set expectations, whichever you decide.

A pro if doing it at the holidays is that it can make taxes more straightforward if the rate is the same for the full calendar year (according to employers who handled their own taxes).  A pro of doing it at the nannyversary is that it’s one less thing to be spending money on around the holidays.[/quote]
