[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]
Our (former) nanny used to give us awesome gifts - not expensive, but very thoughtful. For me she is more of a family than some of the relatives.[/quote]

But your nanny is not family, she is your employee.  You can love an employee and care about their well being, but Christmas is a time for employers to show their gratitude to their employees.  "Awesome" or not, your nanny was wrong in giving you or DH a gift at Christmas but the children in her care - yes, her employers - no, never.  Your nanny is unprofessional in that regard.  [/quote]
IMO, you can't apply office standards to a job that is built on personal relationships.[/quote]
