For over two decades, this week has marked a time for families and employers to thank nannies for their hard work and dedication, and for all the benefits and peace of mind they bring to our lives. We’ve gathered our top tips for showing your gratitude to your nanny this week.

Extra Paid Time Off

Is there a day coming up when you won’t need as much support? Consider offering your nanny an extra day or two (paid, of course) off. She can use it to catch up on errands, plan a day trip, or just spend the day reading and relaxing at home. Everyone appreciates a little extra downtime to recharge.

Invest in Professional Development

Consider purchasing a membership to the聽聽or another similar organization. The membership allows nannies to attend events (both in-person and online), to network with other nannies, to take workshops and courses, and to stay up to date with the latest innovations and guidance in childcare. Another great option is to sign your nanny up for a class to keep her skills up to date; we love聽听补苍诲听聽on baby safety, food allergies, and more. The Red Cross offers聽, as well. Depending on your nanny, a children’s nutrition class or even a second-language course could also be good options.聽All of these types of programs build your employee’s skills so she will be a better employee now and in the future; it shows you are invested in and support her career long-term.

Give a Thoughtful Gift

A gift basket or other treat she might not otherwise get for herself is a lovely idea too; we love聽, two bottles of聽, or聽.聽If you’re gifting money, consider offering a suggested purpose to added extra meaning – for example, you might offer a check with a note that the money is for those cooking classes she’s been talking about.

Thank Them

The simplest and most meaningful way to show appreciation is just to give your nanny a heartfelt thank you for all the hard work they do. Acknowledge the work they do聽to keep your child safe and healthy. Thank them for being loving and caring.
