[quote=Anonymous]I have given my nanny a very nice chef's knife one year and then the next year I treated her to a deluxe spa mani/pedi (she was flying to Spain for her daughter's wedding and i thought some pampering plus having her nails professionally done would be one less thing to worry about when she arrived overseas).  I don't do a card.  I know it's mother's day, but it's a way for our family to thank her for all that she does.  I also definitely feel that we are a 3-person team (DH, nanny and I tag team and raise our DC together).

For her birthday I have treated her, her mother who was visiting from overseas, and her adult daughter to high tea at the Ritz.  I knew her mom is a huge tea drinker, so I thought they would particularly enjoy that.  Last year, it was her 50th b-day, so we gave her $250 in cash.

In my culture, it's very acceptable for people to give others gifts of appreciation, particularly when they are helping out w/ the kids.  I don't view this as saying that my nanny is our DC's "mom."  I don't that my nanny views it that way either.[/quote]
