[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have left several jobs on mutual terms, and my bosses have MAYBE had cookies or a modest happy hour in the break room to wish me well and say goodbye. Why a week's pay for nannies? That's more than $1,000. It just seems like a lot to me. [/quote]

Because she carefully attended to your children, enabled you to keep advancing in your own job, and was a "wonderful nanny."

Not necessary if you paid her well on the books and gave her an annual bonus. [/quote]
Agreed. You don’t give a weeks salary after a year. Make it clear you’re always available as a reference, maybe give her a nice photo of her with the boys, thank you notes from them & a gift card to somewhere you know she could use[/quote]

She already has photos of herself with children as ND doesn't need another.  If you appreciated having someone who loved your children and took excellent care of them, allowing you to work and not worry, then give her a minimum of one week's salary.  If you're too cheap to do this then do not expect her to ever be available as a sitter.

I am not a nanny.
