I worked for a family for three years. We were very close. I would give them (including the extended family on both sides) Christmas gifts.
I would receive gifts from them (for any reason) thought the year. No money that I spent will ever pay all they did for me. I have been with a new family for a year now. I got Christmas gifts for the kids. And a framed nice pictures (of the kids) for the parents. Will they like it? Who knows? I’ll do it anyway. It’s my personality.
With my former family, I knew that even though they didn’t need anything, they were so happy to get something from me. If I was on vacation they would wait until I come back to open gifts together. But you know, It’s one in a million family. A unicorn family.

Our nanny gives my kids insane gifts (~$100) for their birthdays and for Christmas. And she buys them little presents throughout the year too. It is what it is, and we graciously accept- my asking her to stop has made zero difference over the years!

Agreed. I made this mistake in my last job.

Kids only and something simple.

Help the kids make something to give to their parents.

MB here. Actually, I prefer my nanny not give my kids OR us a gift.

My kids get enough - I don't want them to be too spoiled. And gifts in the workplace should flow DOWN, never UP.

I was working with family for five years I used to give gift for whole family ( parents and three children)
