What Should I Gift My Nanny Family for the Holidays?

A gift should never be out of obligation and most nanny employers would not expect a gift from their nanny, but if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift that doesn’t break the bank, we have some great ideas for you! We asked recently in a nanny group what their favorite gifts were to give to their nanny families so we decided to compile a list.

  • A photo album or framed picture of your nanny kids.

  • Organize a photographer to have professional photos taken of their children.

  • Bring them a home-cooked meal or other baked goods.

  • A bottle of wine, liquor or favorite craft beer.

  • A gift voucher for a free night of babysitting (you could set an amount, most nannies said they did 4 hours)

  • You could also include a gift card for a restaurant they love to use for their date night!

  • An ornament or other craft made by their child (bonus points for tiny foot and handprints!)

  • An experience gift for the family to do together.

  • Charcuterie board with cheese, meat and fruit.

  • A handmade gift if you are crafty! (Some ideas: handpainted ornament, crocheted pot holder or blanket, etc)
