What's a good gift to give an in-home childcare provider?

Question

My child is getting ready to enter Pre-K and I want to give his daycare provider a gift for taking care of him for the last 4 years. I don't want to give her the same old thing, I want to give her something special to show her how much she was appreciated (within reason of course).

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I found a christmas ornament that was a bear with a little bear by their side that said worlds best babysitter, with the year for my daughters babysitter.  It was in a mall but you could probably find one online.

Answer 2

i would like a weeks pay or a gift card for groceries of equal value and a hand made card from the child

Answer 3

Actually if I were her i would appreciate, gift cards to a grocery store and a nice note made by your child..

Answer 4

As a daycare provider I would appreciate one weeks pay and a nice card signed by the children. Maybe the child could paint her a picture and you could frame it as well.

one year my mom whos a preschool teacher got a bunch of nail polish that you could tell as wrapped by the kid and a very nicely wrirtten note. even though she got alot of other nice stuff she liked this one the most because it was from the heart. you could also have him paint and box or something then put something in the box

get your child to make a card for her, and maybe a pamper gift such as bathset or even a bottle of wine.  or a gift voucher for Boots.

whatever you give her she will appreciate it - i know i do!
