I usually get one week's pay from most families.

I wouldn’t worry- I think it really varies. We typically give $100 each to the provider and 1-2 assistants, but talking to other families I know some give a smaller amount, or a gift card, or even just homemade treats and a card.

Don't feel badly. Do what you can afford. I used to do one week but I know many parents who did/could not.

300.00 and a gift

One weeks pay. Which is similar to what my manager gave me at my corporate job.

Doing a bit more than one weeks pay.

We give her one week's pay in cash.

We usually split one week pay between the provider and her assistant, but there's been a revolving door of assistants ever since she reopened. The current one has only been there a month. Wil probably still do the same it's just a bit odd this year.

One week pay. Ours has had a rough year so we were putting a little more in.

We do one month split among the 3 teachers (owner and two assistants).

one week pay

What's a reasonable amount to give to the operator of an in-home daycare as a Christmas Bonus? One week pay? Two?
