[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays]Good Lord. OP, a bonus is just that, an additional amount of money for doing an exceptional job. As a nanny, nannies who expect bonuses and/or try to play the "I'll leave if my bonus isn't X..." game with their employers PISS ME OFF.

Give your nanny what you can. Many nannies don't get bonuses at all.

And, in all honesty, if you are stretching so much to afford your nanny you might want to seriously look into a FT nanny share.

Thanks - we tried for a FT share and it was very difficult because our nanny has pretty set/strict hours.  [b]It's rare in DC (actual DC not the burbs) that a family needs 8 hours a day of care[/b]. We had trouble, and our nanny was fine with a pt share.  It works great for all of us.  We're stretched to the point of $500-$700 is a lot.  We have savings for emergencies. I honestly don't think a bonus is an emergency.  However, maybe since we haven't had her for a full year, we can give her a bonus at "annual review" time to make up for not being able to pay her what seems to be expected by nannies in this area at holiday time. That will give us time to save money for that bonus.

More nonsense.

If you're not a troll you're exceedingly clueless.  What a mess.[/quote]
