My daughter (2 next week) just started at a new licensed family (in-home) daycare in the middle of November. I am not sure what to get her provider for Christmas as our kids have all been at centers in the past and we just did cute little candy cane/stocking things. Any ideas for little gifts? I really don't know what she likes...
Also, I am thinking that we want to/should give her a Christmas bonus but I have no idea how much would be appropriate. Taking the below information into account, how much would you want/expect?
First 3 weeks of care - $180/week (except for Black Friday, provider's unpaid day - Thanksgiving paid)
Rate going forward - $135/week (drops at 2 years old)
Provider will get paid from 12/23 thru 1/1, though the child will not be attending & she will then be able to have an additional school-ager there
I don't want to under pay her a bonus, but also cannot afford to give her a full week's pay as I read somewhere else (especially with paying the week & a half that she won't be there).
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
