| Hi my nanny is retiring after 14 years. What kind of cash bonus do you recommend? |
| 14 years. One year's salary! Anything less is an insult. |
|
^^ Whew!! Not the OP, but that is A LOT of money.
I seriously doubt any Nanny receives that high of an amount for a final bonus! |
|
A years salary is crazy.
I think $1000 is nice. Something you can do as a family to say goodbye too, like a nice dinner somewhere. |
| 14 years and you think $1,000 is enough? Cheap and ungrateful. |

The nanny was paid to do the job. A bonus is whatever the employer wants it to be. |
| After 14 years I'd say a nice high end watch. Spend ~3K |
| I work as a lawyer for the federal government and the highest bonus I’ve ever received is $250. So yeah, a year’s salary as a bonus is nuts. |
Lawyers are a dime a dozen. A nanny who took care of your children for 14 years is priceless. |
| I would say a week or two salary and maybe a gift she would appreciate. |
|
MB here. A year's salary?! That's like $50K for us. Are nannies really walking away from long term jobs with that much cash?!
$1K seems low for 14 years. I would say 2-3 weeks salary. |
This - though I'd probably go to the two week side. And she'd be part of many family celebrations etc... for years to come if she'd been with us for that long. |
A month’s salary, minimum. |
| $14,000 if you can afford it. My nanny friend received $40,000 after 18 years of service. But she worked for very wealthy people. |
