[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,  Our beloved nanny of 4.5 years is leaving us in the coming weeks since she has graduated from nursing school and is moving on from being a nanny.  She really is incredible and is even help train our new au pair this week.  My question is what is appropriate to provide as a departing gift.  We are having our son gift her a really nice necklace symbolizing nanny love and we were thinking a gift card to Figs for nice scrubs.  Is this enough?  IS a cash bonus expected?  We love her so much and I don't want to misstep here.[/quote]

I don't think there are any standards around that.  It's not a severance since you both have ample notice, and you are parting on good terms.  I would do one paycheck's worth of bonus but it's entirely up to what your budget will take.

We will be parting with our lovely live-in nanny in September after three years.  She knows she's getting a 2 weeks' pay gift plus unlimited room/board until she finds a new position.[/quote]
