Employees should never feel like they must give their employers gifts. But I have found most nannies do like giving their employers something for the holidays. Nannies can give gifts without breaking the bank and remaining on a budget. In-home childcare providers should set a reasonable budget and stick to it.
Here are some inexpensive suggestions. As an Amazon influencer, I may earn for qualifying purchases.

Homemade Gift Certificates:
Many nannies give their employers a homemade gift certificate (or set of certificates) good for one evening (or overnight) free babysitting. You can buy a set here or create your own design and print it out yourself to save money.

One Gift for Whole Family:
It is completely appropriate to give a gift to the entire family rather than individual gifts. Some examples include: a family board game, card games and card holders, mugs with photos of the children on them containing hot chocolate mix, or a fireplace popcorn maker and popcorn to make popcorn in their fireplace. Families often like matching pajamas for the holidays as well.

Homemade Knitting and Baking:
Anything handmade such as knitted mittens and scarves or home baked treats are alway appreciated. Giving baking kits like this international treat kit or a cookie skillet make a fun activity for parents and children to do together and it won’t break the bank.

Child-Centered Gifts:
Many nannies create child-centered gifts, such as photo albums or calendars from pictures they have taken of the children. Nannies can make a cast of the child’s hand print or foot print to make ornaments or as a garden decoration.

Tell Me Your Story Mom and Dad:
There are sentimental little journals for the mother or the father to fill out information about their lives to share with their children. I have kept and read my grandparents and parents journals they filled out. My family read the journals together after my grandparents funerals. It’s great to read about their lives in their own words and voice.
