[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bonus is an industry standard. And when most agencies advertise a job, they usually mention "A discretionary end of year bonus" as one of the benefits.

OP is asking if she should get a bonus. She is asking on how she can educate her employers to the norm.

I think those MB's who say they don't get bonus's or they haven't given their nanny in years...obviously can't afford the luxury of employing a nanny.[/quote]

I love when posters who put this dig in, if you can't afford a bonus, you shouldn't have  a nanny.....if you can't afford to pay$25 an hour, you shouldn't have a nanny.....etc..etc..

Do you know how lame of an argument this is?  While there are always going to be families who  truly cannot a nanny, most families can.  They may not be able to pay top notch dollars, but they probably will be perfectly fine with a newer nanny who tries hard, but doesn't have the experience yet to get a lot of money.  
 
  20 plus years ago, yes, employing a nanny wasn't for everyone, but for many families today, it is a good option.   And that woman who was called a babysitter 20 years ago for doing the same job is now called a nanny.   And there are many nannies out there now who shouldn't try to qualify themselves as being a nanny.  Being a nanny is a lot more than just watching someone's child.
