Hi we are first time parents and our current nanny who was wonderful leaves us tomorrow after being with us for almost 3 years, our daughter is going to full day camp. Do we give her a severance even though she is moving onto another family right away? |
What does your contract say about severance? Do you need to cash her out on paid days off or sick days? |
Give her a weeks pay as a goodbye gift. |

Severance not needed as long as you gave notice.
A parting gift would be nice though. I got nothing after 7 years with the same family. I chose to leave and gave 3 months notice. |
I worked for a family for 3 years and they gave me one moth pay when I leave . |
I’ve been with a family for 5 years and am no longer needed. Pay was off the books. While, we did have a contract, there was nothing in it regarding severance pay. They gave me a yearly bonus of 1 weeks pay every year during my time with them.
It’s been 2 weeks now and I’ve received nothing. I’ve been extremely hurt and quite frankly, insulted. Should I say something? If so, what? |
I am a nanny and I never expect anything, that way I am not disappointed if I only get a small recognition gift or nothing at all, and appreciative of larger gifts or money gifts. You had a gift every year (yearly bonus) and you were very lucky to have that (not all nannies do), and parents are not "money machines". I think a nice token is appropriate but I would not expect money at the end of a relationship. |
actually, the nanny-family etiquette is usually 2 weeks of pay severance after 1 year, with additional week for every additional year, so the nanny of 2 yrs gets 3 weeks at parting |
Link? |
So a nanny of ten years should get 11 weeks? That is way above what a corporate severance would be. |
