[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP who has given our nanny a relatively large bonus despite our circumstances. With two prior nannies we have given at least a week's bonus and our current nanny is at least as if not much better so we could not imagine not doing the same for her. She has been such a positive factor in our children's lives that we want to make sure she feels appreciated, especially as we are about to go through a difficult period with the house sale etc. To put this in perspective we are selling our house and downsizing so that we can continue to afford good childcare and kids' programmes, be able to live on one salary if we have to at times, save more for retirement/kids' education and hopefully if there is anything left over have more disposable income so we can have more fun. We have a fair bit of equity in our home and are not totally broke but we will be if we do not downsize. Some people would not pay a bonus in our situation, but we just wouldn't feel comfortable with that.[/quote]
