Thinking ahead a bit but our nanny has been so amazing this last year handling all the closures/isolation and having DH and I both home. As well as basically quarantining on weekend to protect our newborn. We’d like to get her something special as a gift. Any suggestions (aside from a bonus which we are planning to give her)? |
Bonus or time off. That’s it. That’s the only thing people want. |
Along w/her bonus, maybe a homemade card from your child(ren) if old enough.
Am not sure what her hobbies are, but here are a few suggestions: • If she is an avid reader, perhaps a magazine subscription or a new release novel in her favorite genre. • Adult coloring books • Does she enjoy cooking? A cookbook containing fun recipes would be a great gift idea. Etc. Hope this helps!! |
Something like an overnight or weekender bag because she’ll actually be able to go places soon!!! |
+1. Yes! Or a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant where she can take a friend or two and eat inside! Or movie passes!! I can’t wait!!! |
+2. Something to celebrate the end of isolation! |
I think time off beats any gift card or gift! If you can swing it, maybe give her a Friday and Monday off so she can have a 4 day weekend. |
Very Thoughtful gesture, OP, no matter what you choose. |
MONEY |
Financial gift |
We are going to give a week's bonus, and send our nanny to a hotel with a spa for a long weekend. Like Friday - Monday. |
Pay her health insurance premium in full. |
Nanny here. Extra time off is always appreciated ![]() |
$$$$$$. That's it. Noone wants your cute gifts when they make less money than you. If you want to do something else in addition to extra money, that's fine. |
OP clearly stated this gift was in addition to a cash bonus. Sheesh... some of you can’t read. |
