When working as a nanny I always received a cash bonus.... anything from ?100 - ?2000 .. the latter was from a family I had been with for 5 years !! And they were both bankers !!


Although not expected, I think that most of my nanny friends at the time received a cash bonus and a few presents from the kids....

my brother who is my no means rich but i suppose you could call comfortable gave their nanny last year ?300 and then new nanny this year ?500 cos she's just amazing and the kids love her and she does over and above anything that's asked of her. i was asking him as i was querying about childminders and he said he thought cash bonus' was quite common? Sorry i may be totally wrong...
I've always got my (part-time) nanny a small token gift and a cash bonus. I think about a week's wages is right. Bear in mind you're their employer so if they've provided you a good service over the year it seems right to reward them, in the same way as any employer does with its employees.
this is v interesting. i can't afford a week's wages in bonus. i reckon nanny - who has only been employed for seven months - will get an extra two weeks' paid holiday at least this year for various reasons in addition to her contracted four weeks annual hols plus bank holidays so i didn't think she was doing too badly. but guess i need to top up with gift vouchers or something else.
I think it all depends on what you get yourself. If you get a big ( or infact any) bonus at Christmas then it is natural to tip your nanny and cleaner etc. However if you just get a bottle of hand cream from your boss, and have to pay for your own work christmas meal, then I dont think it is imcumbant on you. I always bought nannies something and gave them maybe half a days extra wages. BUt more importantly the children made them something. Nannies are part of your life and they usually know what your circumstances are.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
