Seriously, Troll, try to get a little life for yourself and stay off this forum. You are not a nanny and have never hired a nanny.

I would so appreciate an off-hours text or email telling me what a good job I did with my charge. Anytime.

Um, yeah, actually. Welcome to the real world, where we're all bothered via electronic device all the time.

Not in my office
I have my own business and I respect my employees off time.

When I plan to tell her face to face I sometimes forget, I leave earlier and get home later than my husband so don't sometimes see her for days!

A hand written note is ALWAYS appropriate and appreciated.

OP here, thanks for the note idea. I can easily do that when I think of something I want to thank the nanny for and hopefully it will be a nice start to her day.

I would love it!

As a nanny, I absolutely LOVE love being appreciated at any hour of any day.

I encourage you to do so as well since it builds good morale as well as offers a good amount of goodwill.

Win win.

I find that it starts my day off well when I find notes about good things. Of course, my employer simply puts any notes or concerns in the logbook, so there's no question about what was said or when.

Why not put it on a post it? Or a nice little inexpensive card? Something similar...

I'm a nanny and I don't think so! I gave my parents to text me whenever but that's just the relationship we have! So if they text me at mo
I'd ight saying thanks for the awesomeness of the day then it's just as cool as if they say it at 12:00! Love my family so we can do that!

I'm a nanny and I don't think so! I gave my parents permission to text me whenever but that's just the relationship we have! So if they text me at midnight saying thanks for the awesomeness of the day then it's just as cool as if they say it at 12:00! Love my family so we can do that!

It wouldn't bother me at all.
