I think that sounds fine. Just for reference, we have had the same nanny for years and years and we give her 2 weeks pay plus some kind of gift worth ~$100-$200 or so. But she's full time... We have another nanny who just comes one afternoon a week and I'm going to give her about one "week's" pay plus a ~$100 gift. She only works one part day a week so I'm aiming for the total spend to be more like 2 weeks pay or a little more. In a way she's making out better than the full time nanny as a % of her income from us but I also look at total dollars. The full time nanny's bonus is a lot of money on an absolute basis. The nanny agency told me 2 weeks is fairly typical but it does really vary. So I think you're good but in terms of people saying most people wouldn't even think of a gift, I disagree. I think it's somewhat expected.
