It’s common at the end of year to give a tip or bonus to the people who help you the most. In the case of many parents, that’s your babysitter or nanny. Should you give a gift? A cash bonus? UrbanSitter shares this helpful infographic to help you sort out what to give.

(For those who can’t see the infographic here are some key points)

What to Give:
Popular nanny gifts and babysitter gifts include: gift cards to a favorite retailer or restaurant, spa items or as gift card for spa services, scarves, other handmade items, a framed photo of the kids, candles, gourmet foods such as baked goods or chocolates and fine teas.

What To Give the Nanny for Year End Bonus:
The most popular holiday gift for nannies is a Christmas bonus of one week’s pay.
97% of parents surveyed give their nanny a Christmas bonus or gift.

What To Get Babysitters for Christmas:
3 out of 4 parents surveyed give their babysitter gifts or a year end bonus for Christmas.
If you live in San Francisco or New York be prepared to give more than average. San Francisco parents give on average $75 while New Yorkers are likely to give the babysitter a year end bonus of over $100!

What do you give your sitter or nanny at the end of year?
