[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The standard bonus [b]is[/b] one week's pay. I received that even when I lived out in the Midwest. It isn't just a "DC nanny" thing.

Typically, if it's been less than a year, my understanding is to pro-rate it one day's pay for every month worked. [/quote]

By this logic, if you worked 11 months, you should get a bonus equal to 11 days (so thats 2 weeks and one day)? Where as if you worked one month longer you would only get a 5 day bonus? Nope thats not right.... :oops: :thumbdown:[/quote]

It isn't rocket science.

Nanny works six months to a full year - typical is one week of pay as bonus. 
Less than six months - prorate to about one day of pay per month worked.

The prorating comes into effect mostly when a nanny is relatively new -- less than four months. Usually by 4 or 5 months in, the nanny had shown whether or not she has "earned" the full bonus. [/quote]
Usually much sooner than that, you have shown if you're worthy of a good nanny. Your attitude indicates you are not.

and you know I'm a nanny because...why exactly? [/quote]
