[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did 3 weeks last year. But this year we had a new nanny start in September. If you’ve only had a nanny for part of the year what is the protocol there? Still 1-2 weeks? Or is 1 week ok if they’ve only been working a few months? [/quote]

Prorate the bonus so 1/3 of 3 weeks or 1 week is correct. [/quote]

Oh can others confirm agreement with this?

I have a new nanny who also started in September, but she's very experienced, so I feel like she will have expectations from working with other families previously - but I'm not sure what those expectations would be. I have been debating between 1 or 2 weeks based on being new.

To be honest, all of this is a big financial stretch for us (daycare was the pre-covid plan), but I want to be in line with what's expected.[/quote]

Do what you can, don't worry about expectations. Our nanny had a previous long term job with a very affluent family.  We're paying what's feasible for us, she agreed to it. Her expectations from working with millionaires before us are just that - her expectations. She could not find a position that pays the same (claims she was making $2500/week). I don't care if they gave her 6 month bonus - we can't. There was another family she was with for a few months before us - they just cut her off once covid hit. So there are clearly worse arrangements than ours. [/quote]

Gee, you sound super appreciative. I agree with the sentiment of do what you can, but that should be coupled with an attitude of appreciation and gratitude, not "take it or leave it, b#tch." Your nanny may have a hard time finding another super affluent family, but families who value her services abound. [/quote]
