Nanny's Birthday on Sunday

[Anonymous]

Nannies: if your Birthday falls on Sunday, would you expect your family to give you gifts/acknowledgement of Friday before or Monday after? Or does it even matter? If family doesn't do anything on Friday, will you be upset over the weekend?

I learned that you celebrate things before, not after.

I don't expect my nanny family to ackowledge my birthday or give me gifts.

However, if you all exchange gifts for those occasions before is better than after.

My previous nanny family always celebrated with me, and I really appreciated it. It wouldn't matter to me if you did it the Friday before or the Monday after. If you're worried that your nanny may feel forgotten over the weekend, you could casually say on Friday "Have a very happy birthday this weekend, nanny. We're looking forward to keeping the celebration going with you on Monday."

Definitely before.

Anything after is like an afterthought to me.

I would be grateful however. It wouldn't be the same however.

Before, especially if you're giving money or something else that would come in handy during the weekend celebration.

If a family wishes to celebrate a nanny's birthday, the nanny should be grateful and happy whichever day the family chooses to acknowledge it.

It wouldn't matter to me either way and I would just feel good that they thought enough of me to acknowledge my birthday at all. I wouldn't be offended or upset if they didn't do anything either.
