[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, that would be incredibly generous of you, but also far beyond what is necessary. You could certainly offer it as an end-of-year bonus but I'd try to frame it as something other than "since we can't give you the time off, how about..." since that may color expectations moving forward.

I may have missed it, but how long has your nanny been with your family? That might also affect how I'd handle this as an employer. If less than a year, realize you are still feeling out the dynamics of the relationship and your nanny's expectations, so tread somewhat carefully. If several years and this is the first time this has come up in an otherwise great relationship, I'd be much more willing to come up with solutions like the one you suggest.[/quote]

She has been with us for 2 years.  Her Christmas bonus is 1 week base pay for each year she is with us.  So this Christmas she would get 2 weeks of pay.  This is the first major disagreement we have had and its not like her to be all mopey.  She is really upset over this.  I was really annoyed at first but I am now looking for a solution.  I try and treat my employees how I would like to be treated.  If we can come to a compromise that works for both of us all the better.[/quote]
