Oh, and your OP is incorrect and misleading. Because she said thank you.
You should change it to: Nanny only thanked us once instead of 2+ times, should we be offended?

She. Said. Thank you. That is sufficient.

This could be it. Honestly every preschool teacher we’ve given gifts to has written a thank you card and other sitters have thanked us after they opened gifts/gift cards etc.

Do you send hand written thank you cards for all of your holiday presents?

I do not, nor am I expecting one. However I do specifically thank the person who gave me a gift for the particular gift(s) they give me. This was how I was raised.

I would drop a hint. We had s part time sitter for the school year/summer who was also a lifeguard at our pool. I got her a Target gift card as a thank you when she was done with us and nothing…. Couple weeks later I saw her at the pool and said I wanted to just check that she got it. It was in a card that my kid gave her so I used that as my excuse for checking, she said “ oh I’m so sorry I meant to say thank you and forgot”…. So yeah, I would say something, kind of like the earring comment above.,

This is why I hate gifts from anyone work related. She didn't ask for one, thanked you on receipt, and it's still not enough. Lord

It’s just unusual to me since I’ve never given someone a gift and not had them mention to me what it was when thanking me. She was given a substantial check so I don’t even know if she opened the card. Guess I’ll find out if she deposits it. Just not what I am used to.

She already thanked you. She doesn’t need to do more. Would you like a card or I thank you flowers?

Sounds like she wasn't raised right. Now there's something to think about.

"Good morning, Jayden's bottle is ready and I have to run. Oh! Did you like the earrings? I thought of you because I know you love goats! I hope you don't already have those goat earrings... " There's a 99% chance she'll tell you she's been meaning to thank you.

Oh brother.

She did, she didn’t open it with us, so she would not have known what was in the wrapped gifts or card at the time.

No.

But she never said thank you when you handed it to her?

Our nanny has not thanked us for her holiday gift. She was given some physical gifts as well as a check. Should we be offended?
