[quote=Anonymous]Presumably you know if your nanny is hard up at the moment or not, or have an inkling at least. If you reckon she's having trouble with paying her rent, give her cash. If you reckon she's doing well (and I agree, not all nannies are poor. I have always been very well compensated, and so have most of the people I know who work as nannies) get her something nice you know she'll like. Like, if she has specifically mentioned the exact bag she set her eyes on - with an expensive gift like that, you don't want to give her something she's not going to absolutely love.

But personally, I'd prefer cash and something small (like, put the cash in a nice mug or something along those lines). I've been given very generous gifts a few time, and it was always a bit awkward. Cash is easier to accept, I think, because once you have it it's yours to do whatever you please. A gift always stays 'oh this super expensive mag my nanny family gave me'.

So I think if you want to spend a certain amount of money on a gift to your nanny, don't spend it on something big, and instead give her cash and something small and personal. [/quote]
