21 Gifts Your Nanny, The Real MVP Of Your Life, Will Love And Appreciate

Jade face rollers are all the rage to keep the most stressed skin looking rejuvenated and healthy. But not all rollers are created equal. Deciniee Jade Roller and Gua Sha Tools Set is an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle mini magician. We recommend buying two (one for you, Mama, and one for the sitter). Even if your babysitter is 19, this quality jade stone can have added benefits to help maintain that youthful look, and it just feels nice to massage your face as you apply serum or moisturizer. One reviewer wrote, “I was blessed with a double chin that runs in my family (even for the skinny people) and this has reduced it dramatically. I also suffer from cystic acne and I’m not sure how but this has improved my texture and reduced my breakouts.”

Mama of multiple kids? Bless you, but also the sitters we leave them with. This funny, says-it- like-it-is T-shirt is the perfect gift for the Saturday sitter who can wrangle them all for play, meal time, and get them off to bed before we get home.

Have a quieter, more introverted nanny or sitter? One with artistic or creative writing talents? Treat them to a classic Moleskin journal which they may not want to buy themselves because it can be hard to justify spending so much on a journal. But when she’ll have a bound notebook that’s so beautiful and sturdy (this is the hardcover kind), she’ll be even more inclined to use it.

Chances are our beloved nanny is not spending serious cash on herself every day with the kids’ bag. This Tory Burch Shoulder Tote is big enough for all the diapers, snacks, books, and extra clothes accumulated throughout the day, but fashionable for all of her around-town errands, too. As a bonus, the canvas print is water (aka spill) resistant, too. One reviewer shared, “Very feminine and a great size bag. I receive compliments on this bag all the time. Plenty of room for everyday use and gorgeous print with ribbon accent.”

Nothing says thank you quite like a pricey tech item such as an Apple Watch Series 5. Aside from being a true splurge that the nanny might not be willing to spend on herself right now and the healthy lifestyle benefits, it can improve job function as well. Rather than having to dig in the stroller bag for her phone, she can take a quick look to see who is calling. We love the feminine pink color with the sporty (aka realistic for life with kids) band.

Nannies spend the majority of their day running around after our kids and getting up and down off the floor. Why not give them a chic (but practical and comfy) outfit from lululemon? Perfect for playdates and pickup then an afterwork stop at the gym. We love the look of lululemon’s Close to Crossing Long Sleeve Ruru with their signature Align pants designed for yoga.

Who doesn’t love a glass of wine after a hard day of work? WINC personalizes monthly wine deliveries by the subscribers taste and palate. Don’t know if she enjoys mushrooms or how she takes her coffee? (Seriously they ask this.) No problem, just offer up a WINC gift card to cover the monthly cost.

Nothing is sweeter than a gift from the littles. Make it a personalized gift like the Thank You For Helping Me Grow ornament with your child’s name and it’s a true winner. Looking at this on the tree will remind her every year of the time she spent with your family. Ornaments are great anytime of the year, not just as a Christmas gift because of the sentiment they invoke every time they’re used.

There is nothing personal about a rustic picture frame, but what we put in it, well that’s a different story. Giving a beloved nanny a framed picture of our LOs or even a framed piece of “art” they made together to keep long after she’s gone is both unique and thoughtful. She’ll love it!

Many nannies come from far away and with the state of the world in 2020 she may be feeling extra homesick right about now. Why not give her a trip back there with smells of her state? Massachusetts is known for apple picking and fall foliage, which is exactly what comes through in this soy wax blend candle. Available in all 50 states!

When a long- term nanny leaves, it makes a hole in the heart of everyone involved (and child care panic in the minds of mamas). Why not capture the moment with this Personalized Babysitter Heart Sign from the LittleRedHenGoods Shop on Etsy? The rustic design aesthetic will go with any home decor and will surely be cherished long after the LOs are grown.

“I’m so glad our circles crossed.” We feel this deeply on all levels as mamas who have had nannies move on. Allow her to remember the sentiment with a beautiful and classic piece of jewelry from the Be Wished shop on Etsy that she can wear every day at her new job. (We always hope they still love us more!)
