Cash or a gift card!
As a former nanny, I can definitely recommend a gv for a good massage! Cash is nice but a bit impersonal I think.
My daycare is amazing. I’m getting the ladies who interact with my daughter regularly a nice bag of coffee and the main caregiver who is in her room all day every day a $50 gift card on top of that. She will have been at daycare 6ish months by Christmas. If it was a day home with only one caregiver I’d give more but with so many I have to budget a bit.
My opinion is if it's a child care teacher at center, cash is one of the best options. To personalize it, maybe a small gift to go with it. As a child care teacher, I've recieved photo albums with all the kids in the class and letters from the parents, personalized thermos with pictures or scribbles from the child, ornaments, etc. If you have a nanny, perhaps gift cards for massages would be nice!
As a nanny, I would definitely say GC or if you know them personally, something made from the LO
We did Amazon gift cards last year. May do the same this year.
We found out our day care providers fav salon/spa, got her a GC to treat herself. She LOVED it.
I give mine a bottle of wine and a gift card.

A day off. Oh never mind, I am the caregiver. I watch a 3 year old girl and I have for 14 months minus 4 months for maternity leave and I am getting her and her parents something. Last year I made them vegan cookies in a jar (the kids got severe dairy and egg allergies)
Last year I gave our in home daycare provider a 3 wick candle from bath and body works. I wasn’t sure how much I should spend but at that time she had only been watching my daughter for a few months
A gift card
As a former preschool teacher I recommend gift cards. I got so many candles/lotions over the years. as a person who didn’t make a ton of money, a gift card to either somewhere practical like Target or a splurge type store that I wouldn’t normally be able to shop at like Sephora was lovely. Restaurant gift cards are great too.
Gift cards and OnGuard items.
It’s a typo. 😩😩 Lol I’ll fix it.
