[quote=Anonymous]Nice try at spinning your argument but nope it won’t work. From your very own post, “ And no, nannies are not the top tier of luxury care. What universe do you live in?“

Hiring a nanny period is the top tier. Coming to your home is meeting the greater demands you fool. It’s private, in home, one on one care for your child. Why would that even be affordable? Someone is coming to your house to raise your kids. Does that sound like a service that would be cheap? You are absolutely right that not everyone can afford a nanny or in home physician (again, who are these services aimed toward). That’s why there is daycare and places like Kaiser. You seem to think you deserve a nanny even if it means paying them low. I don’t understand why you are, oh so offended, when someone says you cannot afford a nanny. You can’t. Go to daycare. Honestly your response just proves you are trolling.[/quote]

I'm not offended, just very amused. I've been interviewing some candidates and have a couple of very nice women in mind who seem pleasant and willing to work with us even though we are neither billionaires nor celebrities. Neither candidate has a masters degree. Neither speaks french fluently nor will they play Chopin nocturnes to lull Larlo and Larla to sleep. They do seem engaging and qualified though. In my circle of friends, almost everyone has a nanny and almost nobody uses daycare. As far as I know, none of these families are uber-wealthy, nor do they think of their nannies as "the top tier of luxury care." I guess nobody got your memo. Everyone gives bonuses according to their means, and that seems to be well understood by the people who agree to work for them. Obviously the business owners and attorneys will give different gifts than the academics or musicians. I didn't make the $1000 suggestion for a goodbye gift, that was somebody else, but I see no problem if this is what a family can afford as a gift and if the nanny understands that and has a good relationship with them. There are other ways to show your appreciation and gratitude to another human being besides cash. You may not understand this, but not everyone is as materialistic as you apparently are, given your obsession with "top-level luxury care," celebrities, and the uber-wealthy.
