Nannies are right up there with teachers when it comes to holding some of the most important jobs in the world. We trust them with our most precious cargo — our children — and they play an integral role in shaping young hearts and minds, all while keeping the little ones safe and entertained. Given the importance of their roles, it only makes sense that they should be appropriately rewarded around the holiday season (and celebrated on their birthdays or any other special occasion). So, what are some spot-on gifts for the nanny?
When it comes to how much you should you spend on a nanny gift, a typical annual cash bonus might amount to about one week's pay, according to etiquette experts.
