MB was incredibly gracious, how to repay?

[Anonymous]

So this morning my vehicle broke down, I called my mb to let her know I would be pretty late considering I start work At 6:30 and that's well before the garage opens up. She was more then okay with it even though it put her day back. When I got to work she
Asked if I was had eaten and made breakfast for us and proceeded to tell me
She would be paying for my car to get fixed and that was the way it was going to be considering since she knew
I am moving soon and appreciates I take her LO's in my car frequently.

This almost made cry, I've said thank you more the a handful of time and tried to make sure the house is spotless but I truly want her to know I appreciate it . Should I do something extra? Nannys/MB's/trolls?

Does she pay you federal mileage rate for the miles you drive your charge?

Op here, and yes she does

She probably wants nothing more than your continued excellent care of her children. You have thanked her and this is all she wants. It os important to receive gifts as graciously as we give them. She spunds like a nice person.

OP, thank you for sharing your MB experience. I am so happy for you that I almost want to cry to.

How can you repay MB for her kindness? Keep loving her children just the way you do. She probably feels that she can never repay you for what you're already doing.

I wish everyone knew how wonderful life can be when we simply do our best for each other. Each one of us has something that someone else needs.

Your post makes my day. Thanks again.

I'd give a thank you card and baked item. This is how I thanked employer for a similar issue.

Op here again, she's a great lady, I'm fortunate to nanny for her family. And thank you! I appreciate the kind comments I love the thank you card and baked goods!

Just write a thank you note and then stop bringing it up. It makes people feel awkward when you thank them over and over for the same thing.

This.

Continue to do a great job- it's all she really wants.

I second the thank you card and baked goods. Thoughtful, but not over the top.

I'm an MB. A thank you note is great, I don't think you need to anything more - other than to be really gracious/helpful to her if/when she has some sort of difficult day (staying late in a pinch, helping out a little extra if someone is sick, etc...)

This is the kind of gesture that builds so much goodwill and is the sign of a great relationship. You returning that kind of goodwill and effort would be all she would ask I'm sure.

I agree that this is a gesture of goodwill. I agree with 9:28.
While these gestures come from the heart, there's also a pragmatic reason. She is smart to want to ensure your loyalty to her family. This is a win-win. Thanks for sharing a positive story.

I am a MB and I think this is perfect - I think anything more could become a little awkward.

If I had done this, I would want ONE AND BE DONE thank you and it eould annoy me no end if you kept thanking me. She paid it forwardso let it be. Do something for someone else.

I think a Thank you card would be great! Also if you feel the need to do more you could do a cute craft with the kids for MB, like a stepping stone or a pretty potted plant and the kids can paint the pot.
