Holiday bonus and extra vacation time question

[Anonymous]

My nanny works for us about 15 hours a week and started in January. I had a question about the holiday bonus since this is my first time having a nanny.

I am planning on giving her off Christmas week and Dec 30 and 31, paid. Would I have to give a bonus on top of this or is the extra paid vacation considered ok?
I'm also giving her a gift from my son.

This year I've paid her for two full weeks vacation and some sick days and snow days.

Thank you.

Maybe throw in an extra cash or gift card with the gift from your son. Doesn't need to be a big bucks, whatever is comfortable on your budget.. That's if you have extra, if not the gift from your son and maybe a card stating how much you appreciate her would okey.

Since she was planning on working and getting paid that week anyway, she really isn't getting anything extra from it. I'm sure she wold appreciate a little extra cash around the holidays.

I meant she would be off the second 12/31 and 1/1. She works Tues-Thurs.

Thanks for the advice.

You don't gotta go crazy esp if you're already giving her a week paid during the holidays.
