[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone! We love and appreciate our nanny, but I don't think we can afford a week times the years of service. I think I'll go for 1500$ a picture frame with my kid on it plus a thank you card.

Thank you all for responding.[/quote]

You are one cheap b..ch!  She has given nine years to you and you cannot afford to give her three months severance?  I hope karma bites you in every possible way and soon.  So, I am not a nanny.[/quote]

Sounds to me like this family and nanny have had the ideal relationship.  9 years is an amazing tenure.  The family is offering severance, tons of notice, help finding another job, etc...  I hope that we are half as lucky and wish many more nanny/employer relationships were this positive.

To call her a cheap bitch because she doesn't have the ability to pay a quarter of a year's salary as severance is absurd.  Do you have 15-20k (minimum!) laying around to give someone else?  You certainly aren't an employer with that kind of response.  A week's pay per year of employment as severance exists in my world only when someone is being fired and they are being paid to go away quietly.    I've negotiated and signed a lot of these kinds of severance agreements - they are NEVER happening because of a natural and happy dissolution of a working relationship.

I wish this family and nanny the best and I hope (and would expect) that they will remain connected to each other for years to come.  [/quote]
