[quote=Anonymous]Nanny of the past few years is leaving today.  She has been great and we absolutely would have given her a small bonus/gift for her birthday (later this year) as well as a holiday bonus if she were stil working for us at those times.  We are giving her a gift, card, and a stellar letter of reference.  I'm now wondering if we should also give her a bonus for her last day.  However, this has all happened really fast--she gave us 2 weeks notice (our contract asks for 4) and even though I think it's all going to work out we have had to do a bit of scrambling in the past week to find someone new and cover the gap in care.  Additionally, we will want to give the new nanny some sort of holiday bonus and even though I know I might get flamed for this we are not a family that can pay decent wages and give out multiple holiday bonuses.

Has anyone given or received a bonus when they quit/left a job?  We plan to keep in touch with our current nanny in the future, so we could also just give her a pro-rated bonus closer to the holidays, but is that super awkward since she's a grown woman who will no longer be working for us at that time?  Thanks for any helpful advice.[/quote]
