Nannies: "all I want for Christmas is..."

[Anonymous]

If you could get anything from your employer, what would it be?

[Anonymous]

Holiday bonus and contract extension

A raise! I'm only a summer nanny but I've been with them for two summers now. Next summer a raise would be nice!! I'm in Ohio.

A bonus. My employers tell me constantly that they love how great a job I do, and I really enjoy working for them. However there is nothing particularly amazing about my compensation, and it sucks year after year to see the great bonuses some on here get, and for the last 2 years I've gotten a $10 gift card. I didn't even know $10 gift cards existed.

Aww that's awful! I always spend more on gifts for my family than they spend on me too...Is it terrible I plan to spend less on them now?

Same boat! Any idea for how to go about getting a raise?

Just a nice bonus. My employers are always telling me that they are very happy with me, but don't seem to understand that I need regular income to survive. My hours are ALWAYS changing. So happy I'm done with school in the spring, time to move on.

For them to remember that I am Jewish, and therefore don't celebrate Christmas.

How is this a problem? You're off on Christmas anyway, right?

Because it is nice for someone to put thought into someone else's needs. Being off Christmas means nothing to a Jew. It is just a regular day.

A raise (early January marks a year with them) and a bonus! Or a big-ass Starbucks gift card.

It's not a "problem" but it is something I would like. Every other day all through December the MB will ask if I've gotten my tree yet, what I'm doing on Christ,as, if I'm going to midnight mass, if I've put up my lights yet, etc. and to each question I reply that I don't do that because I'm Jewish, or going to movies and having Chinese food, etc. but she never stops asking. Over and over. Aren't you excited for Santa to come to your house? Well, Santa doesn't come to the houses of jewish people. It never stops all month long.
