Five Ways to Celebrate Your Nanny During
“National Nanny Recognition Week”
At Nannies on the Go, we know nannies are more than caregivers—they are mentors, role
models, and an essential part of the families they serve. Their dedication brings comfort to
parents and joy to children, often in ways that go far beyond the job description.
National Nanny Recognition Week is the perfect opportunity to pause and celebrate the
incredible contributions your nanny makes every day. Here are five thoughtful ways to honor
them:
1. Share Your Gratitude in Writing
A personal thank-you note goes a long way. Share the specific qualities you admire whether
it’s their patience, creativity, or the special bond they’ve built with your children.
Encourage the kids to add drawings or short notes for a keepsake your nanny will treasure.
2. Gift Them a Well-Deserved Break
Surprise your nanny with a paid afternoon or day off to relax and recharge. The gesture shows
not only appreciation, but also respect for the hard work they put into caring for your family.
3. Give a Personalized Touch
Thoughtful, personalized gifts speak volumes. A framed photo with the children, a memory book
of shared moments, or a custom item tailored to your nanny’s personality demonstrates how
much you value their place in your family’s life. Maybe a basket full of goodies like popcorn,
tickets to a movie, a Spa gift or even her favorite cookies!
4. Celebrate Together as a Family
Plan a small celebration in their honor. This could be a special dinner, a surprise dessert night, or
even decorations made by the kids. The effort doesn’t have to be elaborate—the key is creating a
moment that makes your nanny feel truly seen and celebrated.
5. Support Their Professional Growth
Nannies are dedicated professionals, and investing in their growth shows lasting appreciation.
Consider a bonus, funding a training opportunity, or offering resources that help them continue
to build their career. This is a powerful way to show respect for their expertise and future.
However you choose to celebrate, remember that recognition doesn’t need to be a huge effort
—it simply needs to be genuine. A nanny’s role is built on care, consistency, and love, and
National Nanny Recognition Week is the perfect time to give that love right back.
At Nannies on the Go, we are proud to stand alongside the families and the exceptional nannies
who make such a difference every day.
