Holiday Bonus Part 3

Weekly Babysitting Position
* Your weekly salary: App. $800 Gross (45-50 Hours Per Week), $20 Per
Hour for Babysitting Positions* Any supplementary gifts aside from the
Bonus: Cute and thoughtful pair of yoga pants from my nanny family (I
always wear sweats since the toddler makes a mess of my pants on a
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
live: Los Angeles, CA
* 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.

It is so nice and refreshing to see how ALL of these nannies are very appreciative of the gifts/bonuses they received as well as of how appreciated they are by their families. I think that these posts show how much they appreciate what they have.

All nannies should follow their good example.

Nannies:
Congrats on jobs well done! ♥

I agree with you, Amy. There's nothing worse than seeing a nanny get a Christmas gift from an employer and then complain that it wasn't enough.
