[quote=Anonymous]I've had a nanny for several years, and try to be the kind of employer that I'd want to work for. One thing I'm curious to hear about some of the small perks that families may offer to their nannies, things that are outside of compensation, bonus, health insurance, and PTO.  For instance, with our current nanny, she's free to buy groceries for her own meals that she eats at our house (generally breakfast or lunch) when she's doing the grocery shopping for us, which is somewhat of a perk because she doesn't eat the same things that the kids do.  We've also been very flexible about her bringing her kids with her from time to time, such as when they've had a non-holiday off from school.  And we're flexible on sick leave -- she can take it to care for a sick kid or to attend a dr appt.

I realize that these sorts of things don't make up for low pay or treating a nanny poorly, but at the same time, I've worked at various jobs and often appreciated some of the little things that I get from my company. One company I worked for had a free cafeteria with really good food, a couple of had free on-site gyms, and a one company issued employees smart phones as well as LTE-enabled tablets, and paid for unlimited service on the devices (they'd also replace them if the screen got cracked or whatever).

Anyway, interested to hear some of the smaller things that other families do for their nannies to let them know in little ways that they're appreciated. [/quote]
