Everyone loves to feel appreciated every now and then, your nanny is no different. They share a lot of love and hard work with your family and it’s nice to feel loved in return even throughout the year. Well, did you know that Nanny Appreciation Week is in the month of September? An entire week dedicated to nannies! If you did not know, the 20th – 26th this year is for showing nannies just how much they are appreciated, and we are here to help give you some ideas on how to show your special nanny just how much they mean to your family. We have picked 3 gift ideas to share with you.

A Gift Card
A gift card is always a great option, some people may feel like it’s too easy, but we think it’s still a great away to show appreciation and your nanny can be sure to get exactly what she needs/wants! You can get a gift card to their favorite coffee shop (even nannies need pick me ups) and that way they can caffeine up on those days they need it with chasing your little loved ones around. It reminds us of the movie Meet the Robinsons where they lady invents the caffeine patch, she’s wired and “haven’t slept in days, AHHHH!”. Okay little side humor for you, now back on track!!! Your family knows your nanny best so find a gift card that you think fits them perfectly.

Personalized Cup or Mug
Nannies need to stay hydrated throughout the day so why not get them a personalized cup that they will be proud to show off and drink from every day! Everyone loves a good cup to help remind them to fill up on fluids. You can put a sweet quote on there and their name or even your child/children’s name. We are sure it will be a cherished keepsake. Here is an example for you, you’re sure to find lots of options on Etsy.

Personalized Cozy Blanket
After a long day of chasing young ones around get your many a personalized blanket to curl up within the evenings and relax while she watches her favorite shows or movies. You could get one with your child/children’s picture on it. Check out here to find out more about this blanket and grab one for your nanny.

Gift Basket of Favorites
Take a traditional basket or anything you could stuff gifts in for your nanny and fill it with their favorite things. If you are unsure, watch what they like to drink, eat, talk about doing in their spare time, and even ask the children to help you with ideas. Grab the nanny’s favorite things and display in a nice basket or storage tote, have the family make a card and surprise them with this special and thoughtful gift basket of all their favorite things.

A Paid Day Off with Paid for Dinner
If you could make this possible, we believe any nanny would love a day off paid for with dinner reservations. How thoughtful and relaxing to have a paid day off and dinner to their favorite place. This one may take some more prep but would be appreciated by any nanny.
Whatever kind of gift you choose to add in something like a fun questionnaire (like the one at the link) done by your child/children will make it even better and she will probably get a kick out of the answers they give! https://etsy.me/32a9nEJ Have fun with it and make sure your nanny knows they are appreciated and cared for.
