[quote=Anonymous]Advice, please. We have had our nanny (as part of a share) for 4 years. She is truly like a member of our family, and though we don't make a lot of money, we have tried to be as generous as possible with her. Both of our kids are in full-time school now. When our younger child started school five months ago, we told our nanny that we would keep her on full-time (still shared with another family, but with us paying our full portion) through the end of the year, though we only needed her for about 10 hours a week. Now both kids will be in aftercare. We lined up a new family to take our place; they are starting next week.

We also doubled our usual holiday bonus.

So I guess my question is, should we give her another bonus/severance pay on her last day? Because of the holidays, she will only have worked for us two days since we gave her the holiday bonus. Honestly, we are pretty strapped. But I would never, ever for a minute want her to think we didn't appreciate hugely all she's done for us. Moms, what would you do? Nannies, what would you expect?[/quote]
