[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous. Bonuses are not "standard" in any industry. They are earned for exceptional service.

Give a bonus if you want, OP, but don't feel pressured by some nonsense about "standard" bonuses or better yet, the insulting comment about what "seasoned nanny employers recognize that it's expected". This is all garbage.[/quote]

NP here. You could argue that bonuses or tips are standard in service industries. That being said, I agree they are for exceptional service. OP stated that she was very happy with her nanny, and nothing she said would indicate that this nanny doesn't deserve a bonus. If absolutely nothing else, OP could have been thoughtful enough to give her a card. The whole "we don't have your gift yet" BS is what would really piss me off. If you're not going to give a gift, don't give it. Don't give me some obligatory gift because I got one for your kids.

OP I really don't understand how after this thread, and your own words, how you possibly could have dropped the ball like this. I promise you your nanny is feeling quite unappreciated right now, and 5 weeks is plenty of time for a good nanny to find a new position. You really deserve no less than for her to give you 2 weeks notice effective 2 weeks before you return. Enjoy your vacation....[/quote]
