Not cash or gift card Christmas present for nanny.

It probably isn’t possible so close to Christmas (maybe for her birthday) but my best gift ever is a professional photograph of all my current and past charges together (except one) from three families. I actually cried when I got it and loved that my charges all got together even as one family had to drive over two hours to get back.

Best gift ever!

That’s not a great gift.

Put some effort into finding out what she likes, I can’t believe she wouldn’t like a gift card to somewhere she already goes. What scents does she like? Get her some shower/bath stufff in scents that she likes. From the kids you could have them draw a picture or make her something. You can look at Pinterest for ideas.

OP here and thanks but the bonus and Christmas gifts are separate. She really does not like any gift cards.

we’ll then give cash for both. You are making this so much harder than it needs to be. Give her an ornament for her tree ifvv BBC she has one with a pic of your kids in it.

Not to you but it absolutely was the best gift ever for me. I cherish it and love the planning and work my former employers and current employers put into it.

Why does your nanny spend Christmas with you?

I can read. No one wants a bunch of “stuff”. Let the Nannie make a list or give cash.

I am aware. But people on this board are always saying how they need more stuff, dot want their kids getting more stuff, need to declutter… and now the OP is basically forcing stuff on this Nanny.

NP here. I love stuff. Does no one in your life give you a non-monetary gift, PP?
