[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]having experience and qualifications and good references is something that you look at when hiring. Amd yes people accept different standards for all these.  A bonus is truly supposed to be for rewarding the job done, how all those skills are actually put into action.

Hoping for a "standard" bonus is understood but if a nanny actually has not performed her job well (as we see on some threads over and over  - as much as we see threads about demanding and unfair bosses) which can also happen with those nannies that come with experience and references etc. does not actually mean that someone is automatically entitled to a bonus.

A bonus should be related to the actual performance of the nanny and not an assumption just because you come with 5 or more years experience.[/quote]

PP and of course I completely agree. A bonus is something you earn, not a right or an obligation, but there are definitely standard SIZES for bonuses depending on the nanny and the job (e.g. how long she's been working, how much extra work was added this year w/o additional pay, etc.).[/quote]

So what is the "standard" given all these variables?  And by standard I mean commonly accepted practice. [/quote]

As I said above, I can only speak for nannies in my "tier" - that is, 5+ years experience, college degrees, bilingual, etc. (the kind of nannies the best agencies will send your way) and for us, one week's pay is quite common. That assertion is backed up by agency AND nanny payroll sites who all advise giving a one week bonus. No clue what it looks like for new nannies, foreign-born nannies (no hate here, I just know they tend to get shafted when it comes to compensation), nannies without degrees, etc. It might be the same? Or not.[/quote]
