Nanny Holiday/Christmas Bonuses.

Dear Wee Care,
"Thank you, thank you for sending Lily our way. She is FABULOUS! Since she is our first nanny, can you provide us with some guidance on a Christmas/holiday bonus?" Understandably, we get this question a lot during this time of year.
To
answer your question, a full-time nanny can usually expect a holiday
bonus of one week's pay - two week's salary depending upon her length of
service. Additionally, if the nanny has been with the family under a
year, half of her weekly salary is standard. If the nanny is just starting, a $100 gift
card sets a nice tone. A
hand-written note of thanks expressing your sincere appreciation and
referencing a yearly highlight of the caregiver/child relationship is an
additional way to show your genuine gratitude.
Some families will include an extra little something coming
from the children like a homemade card, cookies or her favorite
confection which surrounds the monetary gift with genuine warmth and
appreciation from the child.
For
the regular on call babysitter that provides care several times each
month, a gift equal to one night's pay are the norm. Many families choose to
provide a $50-$100 gift card to her favorite shop, cafe, nail salon etc.
Housekeeper/Cleaner, one or two week's pay, depending upon her length of
service and a small gift like a bottle of wine.
Obviously,
this is a general guideline of industry norms in the NY Metro Region.
Some families give more or less depending on the particular
circumstances and family budget.

Understandably, we get the question below a lot during this time of year and wanted to offer some guidance.
As
we're getting close to Christmas - I'm hoping you might be able to
provide me some guidance with respect to end of year Christmas gifts
and/or bonuses. I have *no* idea what the going rate is and I want to
make sure we're in line with whatever it is. Can you give me any
guidance at all?
