I am a mom and would find it really weird if my nanny gave me something from my kids related to that special day that doesn't concern them at all.

I place a very high value on my nanny consciously working to develop my kids' emotional intelligence and social skills. It's far more important in the pre-school years than learning ABCs and counting skills. Valentine's Day is a perfect excuse to start teaching young kids about love, what it feels like to give and receive it, how to show care for others, etc.

Yes! Agreed

If you're being genuine, that's sad! You sound like one of those people that doesn't understand that sometimes a process is more important than the end result. If you're just bored and posting random crap to get attention then whatever...better than you actually thinking that a kid shouldn't give a parent a card because it'll end up in the trash (like pretty much any card I get does, not because I don't appreciate it but there's no way I can keep every single card I get in my life, doesn't mean people shouldn't give them to me!!)

I have an 18 month and we made cards for both mom and dad. Got out all the paint, markets, crayons, stickers, etc and went to town. I don't expect her to understand the occasion but she had fun decorating! I know the parents will absolutely love anything she makes so just a small gesture.
