Weekly Babysitting Position

daily basis!), beautiful cashmere wrap from Regular Babysitting Family,

Beat Headphones from Sporadic Babysitting Family* Length of time you

have worked for the Family: 8 Months for Nanny and Regular Babysitting,

1 Month for Sporadic Babysitting* City, State and Country where you

* Additional comments: I was kind of hoping for the "standard" week's

salary from my nanny family but I am very grateful for what they gave

me. They wrote me a very heartfelt, sincere card and I know how

appreciated I am. I am sure if they could have given more, they would

have and I realize that in this economy I am lucky to have found such

an incredible family and to have received a bonus at all. I also

received a gift from them for my birthday ($100 movie gift card and a

thoughtful gift "from" the baby) and they have been very generous with

paid time off. This position has a lot of perks. Most importantly

though, they make me feel like a member of the family. My weekly

babysitting family (I babysit on Saturday nights regularly) is also

wonderful and wrote me a beautiful note in addition to the cash bonus

and gift. The third sporadic babysitting family's gift was a total and

very pleasant surprise since I have only worked for them a handful of

times. I feel very lucky and appreciated. Happy Holidays!

The bonus from family 2 was completely unexpected and unnecessary

for both my families. Compared to my previous families who I would bend

over backwards for and never felt appreciated, having these two

families is all the Xmas gift I need.
