Have You Considered a Year End Nanny Bonus?

Helpful Year End Bonus Guide

Are you considering offering some type of bonus for your nanny or household staff? They sure would appreciate it! Giving a bonus at the end of the year is a great way to show your appreciation for all their hard work helping raise your children.

Many families find that 1-2 weeks pay is a sufficient bonus for their nanny. For nannies who have not been with your family for a whole year, you might consider giving her 1 day pay for every month they have been working for you.

Ultimately the decision is up to you and your budget, these are just guidelines.

If you'd like more ideas and info, here's a great article from our tax and payroll friends at Homework Solutions: https://www.homeworksolutions.com/knowledge-center/nanny-holiday-and-year-end-bonuses/

Happy Bonus-ing!
