Hi, I've got a fabulous nanny and we are about to reach our first Christmas together. I'm not sure what people normally do, but I'd like to give her a really decent Christmas bonus to say thanks for all her hard work during some very difficult circumstances this year etc etc.

What would be a usual sort of amount for a Christmas bonus, as a percentage of a nanny's weekly net pay (e.g. 50%, maybe 100% - I have no idea)? For context, she gets £500/week net.

Maybe a weeks net salary then a gift from the children something personal like a photo of them in a nice frame

Thanks Prinnie and snickersnack. I had been thinking the week's net salary- she is great and I want to show her I know that.

We do a week's net salary. Which is a lot but seems to be the norm round here, and our nanny is worth it...

Errm - I have no idea, but 50% - £250, would seem like a generous bonus to me.
