I was not happy so come this year I cut my hours - I gave my notice to quit but MB begged me to stay so now I work 2 days for them. I have a feeling she will not give me any bonus or it will be less than a hundred. If she gives me anything less than a hundred I am quitting. All her friends give their nannies a minimum of 3 weeks bonus, I am not asking even for a week's bonus but I want something decent. And No, I don't feel entitled, I just want to feel appreciated.


You do sound really entitled.

3 weeks' bonus - by more than one family - sounds highly unlikely but ok. PP at 6:33 you sound like a peach.

Not a nanny, but here's what we gave ours....
2012 Holiday Bonus: $600
Weekly (net) Pay: $400 (it's a share - other family did a week I think)

Nanny share:
Family 1-
2012 Holiday Bonus: $0
Weekly (net) Pay: $525

Length of Time with Family: 7month

Family2-
2012 Holiday Bonus: $450

I was completely in shock when family 2 gave me a bonus, I almost wanted to give it back and say its too much for only working with you for 1month. I never expected anything but a small gift and thank you card. I feel I need to do something special for them.

I was really surprised to receive a weeks pay as a bonus since I've only been with them for 2 and a half months. I told my DB that I expected much less and he said that I'm worth it

Let me start saying I am totally blown away with my bonus. I actually thought many nannies around here lied about bonuses and for the first time being a nanny, I now believe some employers are just plain awesome and of course, can afford a nice bonus.

2012 Holiday Bonus: 2k
Weekly (net) Pay: 615
Other Holiday Gifts: framed picture with MB's homemade cookies.
Length of Time with Family: 1 year

I never felt so appreciated in my whole life.

I just went to take the kids their presents. The mom told me one of my gifts hasn't been delivered yet so she has 2 gifts for me after the new year. No bonus. I would rather have money than a gift, I need the money, and I think she really knows that. So that's unfortunate. I am off all next week with pay, though that isn't my fault. They chose not to use me. I've been counting on the extra hours too since the kids will be on break.

So yeah, I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it is what it is.

My last nanny family gave me 1000 bonus at Christmas so I was kinda bummed with the 100, but they didnt have to give me anything above my pay so I'm grateful for what I did get. Plus I really love their baby
