[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. It has been such a hard year on all of us. I would be honest with her, sooner than later, since she might overspend on the holidays if she assumes she will get a generous bonus again this year. I would not be angry at an employer who came to me and told me it was a tough year financially and my bonus will be smaller than usual. A few other things to note: 1) If you can offer extra PTO, it will go a long way 2) Try not to pile on extra holiday-related work this year such as asking her to help prep the guest room for grandma or wrap presents during naptime. 3) If you are going to be buying elaborate gifts for family members be aware that watching you give a diamond necklace to your niece or a new ipad to your sister is going to feel to the nanny like you had the money, just felt her bonus wasn’t the priority. So if you think that’s going to be an issue, just keep those sorts of items put away during her work days.[/quote]
