Subject: What did you receive for a Holiday Bonus/Gift??
I will let you know tomorrow ... Last year I got $100 and a dinner at a classy restaurant for my spouse and I where the bill came to $115. I was not happy so come this year I cut my hours - I gave my notice to quit but MB begged me to stay so now I work 2 days for them. I have a feeling she will not give me any bonus or it will be less than a hundred. If she gives me anything less than a hundred I am quitting. All her friends give their nannies a minimum of 3 weeks bonus, I am not asking even for a week's bonus but I want something decent. And No, I don't feel entitled, I just want to feel appreciated.

2012 Holiday Bonus: $750
Weekly (net) Pay: $420 (it's only PT)
Other Holiday Gifts: 2 books (they know I love to read) and a sentimental card from parents and a cute one made by kids
Length of Time with Family: 2 years
I was shocked by the generousity this year. Not that they're not giving people, they are and most definitely towards me, but I know they've not had the best year, so the appreciation is really touching. And the card really said everything I needed to hear to know I'm appreciated and to continue giving 200% to this family!!

Not at all tacky! Employees don't really give gifts to employers, but since the nanny/MB-DB relationship is more personal I think it's fairly common for nannies to give a small gift - homemade bread, photo book of the kids, engraved ornament for the tree, etc. so banana bread fits the bill!

I kind of wonder if some people get nothing because everyone knows the expectations are so high. So, if they can't do $1000+ and a gift, they just do nothing.

+1 My employer went so far as to ask me not to get the kids anything, because then they'd be OBLIGATED to get me one. I almost walked out.
