2019 annual “what did you get for Christmas” nanny thread

[Anonymous]

I just got two weeks pay bonus plus a beautiful card and a gorgeous leather tote bag I admired last summer!

I truly love my employers and love working with their wonderful baby.

I also have the next ten days off - paid - and not part of my PTO or vacation.

Happy Holidays, Nannies!

Two weeks pay and a“ugly” sweater my four-year-old charge picked out (and thinks is beautiful). Apparently she insisted on getting me this sweater so I will wear it with pride!

I work for a really great family.

Uh so far a fruit basket. Been with them 4 years and I've gotten one weeks bonus per year of employment (so 3 weeks pay last year). Really hoping they forgot to attach my card/bonus. I'll be SHOCKED if I dont get one. I worked through an 11 month house gut and rehab this year, keeping everything running smoothly and on track. I havent taken a single day off in the last 2.5 years

You don't get vacation?

You're crazy for not taking vacations.

I’m still very close to all my former employers and charges except one so I am literally showered with gifts this time of year. It’s just wonderful!

My current employers are equally lovely and have given me two weeks pay and a gift certificate for something I mentioned plus a full week off (not part of my PTO or vacation).

Happy Holidays, fellow nannies!

We gave her 2 weeks pay bonus, she's off from now until 1/2, our youngest made her a set of coasters with pictures of them on it (older kid made some for us in 1st grade so little DC wanted to copy the idea for nanny), oldest picked out a new bag for her, and she doesn't know it yet but we coordinated with her husband so that they are flying first class when they leave for South America on Sunday.

We gave her a pretty shawl, pictures of the kids, and $1,000 cash. Plus, she will have 7 extra paid days off.

Wow! That is truly generous and so very thoughtful! Good for you!

Thanks. She's been with us for several years and is basically another mom to our kids. We try to do what we can when we can.

It’s truly heartening to hear about nanny-employers like you. I’m serious. NP here.

I feel like this is a thread of lies.
