[quote=Anonymous]1) Typically a nanny who also babysits for you will make the same regardless of the time of day. Paying her her nanny rate for nighttime work is not exceptional, OP.

2) What you gave her for her birthday is not really relevant here. Does DH say, well, I got you a new iPad for your birthday so here are some socks for Christmas?

3) For nannies who have worked less than 6 months we usually say one day's pay per month of work, but at 6mo you should know whether or not you're happy with her and planning to keep her on. If both of those things are true, why would you want to be Scrooge regarding her bonus?

4) Give whatever you want. Only you know your nanny and can guess how offended she will or will not be by her bonus. FWIW I received a full bonus after working four months for my NF (last year). Meanwhile my partner and several of his coworkers are about to quit their jobs (not nannying) because his ahole boss is stiffing the employees after their best sales year ever and giving 25% of the bonuses from last year. This is not about being an "entitled nanny," simply that bonuses reflecting your value to your employer are expected in some jobs/industries, even if it is more fluid in others.[/quote]
