If you have young children, you may have to either hire people to take care of your children or send your children to a day care for all or part of a day.  For all they do to make sure your child stays healthy, has fun and remains safe, it is customary to provide them with a gift.  Gifts could be provided during the winter holiday season, for new years, at the end of a semester, end of a series of courses or at the end of a season (e.g., end of summer camp).

Gift Ideas for Child Care Professionals:

• Gift baskets

• Candy

• Cash (for summer camp counselors)

• Flowers
