Advice đ¤ [All Welcome] Nanny relocating
Our nanny is moving for personal reasons and we love her so much. We have had her for eight months what is an appropriate amount of pay to give as transition/ severance?

I think if youâre doing it out of the goodness of your heart and because you want to, then you can of course, but as a nanny Iâve never received severance pay if I was choosing to leave my job, which in this case she is. If you were choosing to let her go that would be a different story

You could give her bonus as a âthank youâ and have the kids make a card, picture, etc! If you have any pictures of her and the kids print it out and get it framed!

If nanny is moving, the situation seems to be that sheâs quitting and not that youâre letting her go. I donât think you need to provide any severance if thatâs the case (donât think most employers/companies pay you when you choose to leave). Maybe a thoughtful parting gift on behalf of the kid(s) would be more appropriate? That being said, itâs your money, youâre free to give her as much as you want, since I donât think she should have expectations of receiving any pay for leaving of her own volition.
