5 Ways to celebrate International Recognition Week 2025

Nannny - Educators do much more than keep households running smoothly. They guide, comfort, encourage and help children feel safe, valued and confident. International Nanny Recognition Week is the perfect opportunity to pause and acknowledge their contribution to family life.

Here are five simple yet thoughtful ways families can celebrate and show genuine appreciation.

1. Storytelling Moments

Create a short photo or video montage with the children sharing favourite memories. Present it with a framed photo or small photo book for a lasting keepsake.

2. Small Surprises

Surprise your nanny with thoughtful gestures—like their favourite coffee order, a bunch of flowers, or a handwritten card

3. Personalised Self-Care Box

Put together a relaxation box with cosy socks, tea, candles or skincare treats. Choose items that reflect her personality and add a handwritten note from the children.

4. Gift an Experience

Offer an activity she will enjoy such as a pottery class, yoga session or gallery visit. Experiences create lasting memories and show you have considered her interests.

5. The “Why We Love You” Jar

Have each family member write down a reason they value their nanny. Place the notes in a decorated jar for her to read whenever she needs a lift.
