Subject: Does your nanny thank you for holiday bonus?
Hi OP, I’ve definitely always thanked my employers when receiving any gifts. I have a full-time position, plus also do ad-hoc sitting on the side for other families when available. In December, I’ll receive gifts from several families, either when seeing in person or through Zelle/Venmo, and ALWAYS sincerely thank them when receiving.

That said, I am not asking because I am looking for my nanny to show gratitude, I am asking because I am worried she is not happy with the amount. We still have not heard from her and she did not thank me when I handed her the envelope either. Our past nanny always sent us a thank you text the same night or next morning. And same from our cleaning lady.
You’re talking and plea and oranges. Your boss tells you the amount. You hide the money in a card. Personally, I’d do a generic thank you and base my actual feelings off of the contents once I open it, but I wouldn’t go back and tell you later how I felt or thank you again.

We gave it to her inside a card which she didn’t open at our house (took it with her). We also gave her a framed photo of our kids.
I am a little surprised she hasn’t texted us to say thanks. Our past nanny always did, but maybe that’s not the norm. I am just worried she was disappointed or expected more. We thought we were being generous since we haven’t had her for long.
Does your nanny usually thank you?
Maybe she was waiting to open it on Christmas?

Should have given her a full week.
Why do you say that? She has only worked for us for a few months? And we typically only do a full week each year for bonus. Just curious.
