[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what you mean by your behavior- hopefully you'd be a fair, kind employer that treats their employee with respect.

[b]Standard PTO is two weeks paid vacation, 5 sick days, paid holidays, and guaranteed hours. [/b]Many families offer a health insurance stipend monthly.

Again, not sure what you mean by bathroom use- hopefully the nanny will be allowed to use the bathroom throughout the day?[/quote]

I agree with that.  Regarding the bathroom, I told her I bring DD into it with me but DH doesn't (puts DD in the pack n play near the bathroom) and she can do what she's comfortable with.

Our nanny is young so her birthday is a big deal to her.  I made sure we celebrated it with cake and a gift, and we gave her 2 days off for it which she really appreciated (we wanted to go out of town for a 4 day weekend anyway so the timing worked out).  I also gave a holiday bonus and an actual gift too, which she appreciated.

I asked what her favorite foods are and try to make sure there are things available that she would like to snack on.  DH and I work from home and if we buy lunch for ourselves, we get lunch for her too.  Sometimes if I go to the grocery store on my lunch break, I pick up a little treat for her.  If DD refuses to nap on time and ends up not falling asleep until 6 or 7 hours into our nanny's shift, I let her go home early since the odds are low that DD would wake up before the 8 hour shift is over.

You already sound like very generous + appreciative employers OP!
Definitely worth your weight in gold.[/quote]
