Nanny Raises & Bonuses
Hi,
We are first time parents and have had a nanny for the past year. Would love your opinion on a few things:
- What is the recommended year-end bonus?
- Is there an expectation for a raise in salary at the end of the year?
Thanks a lot!
[Moderator note: Per BPN's 2018 nanny survey: 76% of respondents give their nanny a year-end bonus, the most common amount being one week's pay.]

I'm not sure what the norm is, but we give our nanny a bonus at the end of the year of about 3% of her annual salary. She is great with our kids, and we want her to be happy and want to stay. I would prorate the bonus if she's been working for less than a year. We have given her raises about once a year. I don't think that the raise has to happen at the end of the year.
