That is why I support asking about the bonus. You shouldn't have to and it shows the employer is insensitive but asking is the best direct approach. Do you think think the family will connect the chores with no bonus?

I’m not the op, just another nanny who didn’t get a bonus. I’m not sure if my Boss will connect it, but it sure felt nice not doing any extras all week. I literally did only my job and nothing more. My days at work were stress free and enjoyable. So pleasant. I’m sure they noticed the lack of picking up after the adults (I didn’t stop doing things for the kids, because that’s my job) but it’s too bad. If I’m not being paid extra or receiving a bonus WHY n earth would I continue doing extras? The housekeepers haven’t come for months and I’ve picked up the slack. My fault. But now I’m done and it feels great!

Just out of curiosity did you have any paid time off due to Covid? How long have you been with your current family? Have they given a bonus in the past? No judgement just curious. How do you feel about them generally?

I’ve has zero time off with covid and my job has been so incredibly hard. I’ve done so much for this family. I’ve been with them for a few years and other years I’ve received a bonus. I get along with the parents and this really hurts my feelings. I think about it every day at work and now I feel so unappreciated. I used to love going to work and now I don’t even want to be there. I’m still working hard with the boys but I’m not doing anything for the parents anymore. Why bother, when they don’t appreciate it?

Is there any possibility they are having financial problems?

OP, just ask! We gave our nanny 2 weeks' plus extra PTO over the holidays.

I think a lot of families are just cheap and take and take and take. I’ve stopped doing all extras and the house looks like a tip now. I don’t live here, so it’s not my problem!

(And in in American a ‘tip’ is where the rubbish goes, like a junk heap. Not an extra pay!)

Employers do not appreciate the extras you do
Stop deluding yourself. You are the help, nothing more.

Wvhoooohooooo my bosses didn’t give me a bonus but now their millionaire tax dollars will have to pay me $2000, so it’s like I got a bonus from them anyway. Thanks Bernie and the state of Georgia, for the bonus my ungrateful bosses didn’t give me this year!!

I have realized this. It took me awhile. After 6 years with the same family, the parents have shown me during the pandemic how little they care about me. I honestly don’t even know why my boss keeps me around. The mom is so obviously jealous and does these weird creepy things and I’m like lady I don’t want to steal the affection of your kids. Calm down. I’m here for a JOB.
