[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really surprised reading this thread as a new mom who is just starting to look for a nanny. Hiring a nanny already takes a large chunk out of my salary, so adding another week or two week's pay as a bonus seems a lot to ask. Neither my husband nor I gets a year-end bonus, and that amount is more than we spend on gifts for family members. Is this de rigueur or what?[/quote] It depends. If the nanny knows going in that there won't be a holiday bonus, but you intend to do a yearly review and raise, and you show appreciation in other ways? You'll be fine. If you don't do a holiday bonus and the nanny doesn't know that it would make your budget too tight, yes, many would look for another position, assuming that performance was subpar in your eyes, and that termination might be on the horizon.[/quote]
