Christmas bonus for nanny - how much?

[MollFlounders]

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.

just to say i used to be a nanny and i loved getting photos of the kids i looked after .i havent nannied for 13yrs now and i still have photos out of them.i also still see them.

Lol. I didn't even see that other posts were a year old! :)

I got £100 from my boss this week as a xmas gift (completly unexpected, normally get a £25 voucher-not begrudging that either btw!)

But I also got a card telling me how lucky they are to have me and how much they appreciate everything I do even if sometimes they don't show it

just knowing how appreciated I am meant so much! Was on the verge of leaving at times this year but this card means more to me then the money
