If you have a nanny or babysitter who enriches your kids' lives and gives you a little bit of time and space to take care of whatever you need to do, you may want to get them a little something special this holiday season. They’ve been working hard, after all! Take a look at these ideas to find just the right gift to let your sitter know just how important they are to you and your family.
A Coffee Cup That Will Help Them Power Through the Day
Caffeine may very well be the life force of your nanny or babysitter. If you know they love coffee, get them this pourover and Stanley cup, so they can make coffee just the way they like it and keep it nice and hot. They’ll definitely thank you for this one.
A Cute Bag for When They're On-the-Go
For babysitters or nannies who are on the go a lot, a cute crossbody bag will help them keep track of all their things while they also keep track of your kids. This sling bag comes in all sorts of colors, so you can ask them their favorite color to make it even more thoughtful.
Show Your Appreciation With a Pair of Apple AirPods
A lot of people rely on their earbuds to get them through their day — from heading to the gym to doing housework to listening to guided meditations. So if it's within your budget, you could give your nanny the gift of quality audio with a pair of Apple AirPods. They might not splurge on these for themselves, which makes them an even better gift option.
Make Them Smile With a Custom Pet Embroidered Sweatshirt
If you know your child’s babysitter has a pet that’s their best friend, a custom sweatshirt with an embroidered picture of their pet would make such a special gift. They’ll cherish having something they can wear that reminds them of their fur baby.
Charcuterie Set to Help Them Refuel
Get your nanny the gift of fancy snacking with this charcuterie board set. I love that this has a slide out drawer that holds all of the utensils you’ll need. You could even add some charcuterie fixings in a gift basket to complete the set, like some cheeses, crackers, nuts, and chocolates.
A Charging Station for All Their Gadgets
Having one place to charge all of your electronics is an awesome gift, and this charging station covers it all. It magnetically chargers your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods in one place without having to plug anything in. So at the end of a long day, your babysitter or nanny can just drop their things here without the extra clutter of cords. If you know they use Apple products, they’ll love this one.
Show Your Appreciation in a Thoughtful Way
Whether your sitter is like family to you or you’ve just hired them and they’re doing a fantastic job, a gift for the holidays might make them even more excited to get to work for you. From customized gifts to items that might make doing their job a little more fun (like coffee!), there’s something here for every kind of nanny or babysitter to show them how much you appreciate them.
