[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny, I'm a nanny and I seem to be the only one more concerned with what I should get my NF instead of what they will give me. I honestly don't care about a bonus, they pay we way way more than fair throughout the year, let me leave early and take days off all the time, and never leave me feeling unappreciated. I would love to give them something special and heartfelt and don't expect anything in return.[/quote]

You should never give your employers a gift at Christmas - it is very unprofessional and very bad form.  Stop acting like you are part of their family - you are not.  [/quote]

We are not office employees, and it just isn't the same. I would feel like an ass accepting a huge bonus and gifts, with nothing to offer in return. I may not be part of their family, but I am also not a faceless subordinate either. [/quote]

You give gifts to the children in your care and never to your employers (the parents) at Christmas.  This is a time for all employers to give gifts to their employees in every field of employment.  This is the one time where a gift should never be reciprocated.  [/quote]

I am a nanny and I agree with this 100%.  My father was a physician in a small private practice office and his nurses were aunts to me (and still are).  They loved my father and gave him birthday and anniversary gifts but never anything at Christmas (when he gave them each a bonus and a personal gift).  When I was a child, this seemed wrong but my Dad told me that he would be insulted if they gave him a Christmas gift.  [/quote]
