[quote=Anonymous]OP these things are different by location. Tipping, gifts and bonuses are all different things. You tip an occasionally babysitter or you tip a regular service worker that you know. I think it is common to give a nanny a gift similar to how parents give teachers gifts. Bonuses in large amounts such as some of the nannies here post aren't common at all.

There seem to be a good number of nanny posters from outside the DC area on this board. I'm sure some are lying too. In NYC, bonuses are more common because more people work in the financial or corporate sector where a bonus is part of the compensation that you factor into your negotiations to take a job. In DC, bonuses are uncommon in healthcare, non profits, and gov't which is a big section of nanny employers.

Its common in professional fields where bonuses are common for an employee to inquire at the time of interview about whether a bonus is possible or part of the compensation package. This doesn't make it an entitlement but it gives you the opportunity to ask up front if it is a possibility. You wouldn't do this for a gift but if you expected one week's salary,its up to you to ask during the hiring process whether this is possible or not. [/quote]
