But gift baskets in lieu of CARDS still seems way more generous! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-424655 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:38:36 +0000 Alivoo01 424655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea: and you said I was generous!! haha!</p> <p>I would give them a gift because I know it'd be appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-424609 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:22:02 +0000 purrpletulips 424609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are all making me feel very cheap. The first year we gave each a $10 giftcard to a local bookstore the second year I knitted each one a scarf (5 teachers first year and 3 second year). </p> <p>This year we've switched to an in-home sitter and will be giving her a nice gift of money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-424602 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:18:57 +0000 chrispygal 424602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is challenging for us, because LO is in daycare only one day a week so I'm not quite sure what is appropriate to give her 5 teachers. Our aunt takes care of her 4 days a week and we are going to get her a sizeable gift. For the other teachers, I was thinking a little bath and body works set (loofah, lotion, shower gel) along with a $10 gift card. Is that too cheap? </p> <p>@littlek: I was thinking about baking cookies or some other baked goods as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-424577 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:09:58 +0000 littlek 424577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: We are getting each of them a $50 american express gift card. I wanted them to be able to use it anywhere they wanted to.</p> <p>I'm thinking about baking cookies and leaving them at the front desk for everyone to enjoy (hopefully! depends on how good they taste ;)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-424508 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 08:04:30 +0000 mediagirl 424508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I wouldn't give anything to the directors. They own the place and probably take home a lot more than the teachers. That's just my guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-424478 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 07:10:21 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 424478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on baking 3 kinds of cookies and giving each a platter of them with some cash tucked away in a card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-424467 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 06:36:44 +0000 winniebee 424467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So he has 3 teachers, plus there are 2 directors (owners) Do you think I need to give to the owners, too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-423624 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:05:56 +0000 autumnlove 423624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we plan on it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-423468 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:27:00 +0000 mediagirl 423468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're going to give something. The teachers are so exceptional, they're like an extension of me. We will probably give $25 to the main teachers and $10 to the helpers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-423465 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:26:30 +0000 Andrea 423465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we give them $50 each in gift cards because there are so many of them. I think I must've given out almost 10 gift cards last year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-423458 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:24:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 423458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we gave cash last year and it was very much appreciated so we'll do the same this year. we gave $100 each to the two teachers and $50 to the assistant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-423456 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:23:17 +0000 winniebee 423456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: you changed your name! How much will you give and where to? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-422896 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:30:24 +0000 littlek 422896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are giving Brennan's teachers gift cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-422842 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:12:19 +0000 Bao 422842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a gift or gift card is a great idea! I worked in a daycare and was a nanny for several years and always loved the appreciation of a nice gift. Heck, money would be nice too ;) Taking care of kids is a ton of work. I wouldn't say you would need to go overboard but maybe gift cards to a coffee shop or Amazon since its pretty universal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tip-daycare-teachers-at-holidays#post-422835 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:08:38 +0000 winniebee 422835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has 3 teachers at daycare. I'm wondering if we should tip them or get them a gift/giftcard for the holidays. He seems to really like them and I really do! </p>
