Daycare Provider Gift Ideas: Food - Restaurant Gift Card - Always a great gift for daycare provider. Give a card to a restaurant that is a little fancier than they are used to.
- Coffee Shop Gift Card - After assuring that your provider is a coffee drinker, buy her a coffee shop gift card. If you are one of the early arrivals at daycare, you could offer to stop and pick up her coffee for a couple of mornings.
- Gourmet Muffins or Bagels - Find a local shop that can create a nice gift basket with assorted muffins or bagels.
- Freezer Meals - Many towns have shops where you go in and prepare meals to put in freezer bags for future use. Prepare a couple for that gift for daycare provider and then deliver it to her to put in her freezer. She can pick the evening when she will not have to fix dinner for the family. If you do not live in a town with this type of shop, consider fixing a freezer meal yourself.

Daycare Provider Gift Ideas:
Daycare Tshirts and Sweatshirts  | Every time I go to a conference to get my required annual training, the most popular booth in the vendor area is the booth that sells daycare t-shirts and sweatshirts. T-shirts and sweatshirts make an easy gift for daycare provider and they love having themed clothing to wear for work. Whether you get her a shirt from the store or custom design one, she's guaranteed to love it!  |
Daycare Provider Gift Ideas: Provide Services - Substitute Daycare Provider - A substitute provider has to meet requirements set by the licensing agency such as a complete background study and CPR training, but if you happen to meet these requirements, give your provider some time to herself. Maybe she could meet someone for lunch or go get her nails or hair done.
- Evening Babysitting - If your daycare provider has small children of her own, give her an evening of free babysitting while she enjoys a relaxing dinner, a movie or whatever else she may like.
- Housecleaning - Purchase professional cleaning service for a couple of times of free service. If that's out of your price range, offer to do the housecleaning service yourself for as many hours as you'd like your gift to value. Hey, it may not be the most glamorous thing to do, but it wouldn't cost you a thing!
Daycare Provider Gift Ideas: Jewelry
Daycare Provider Gift Ideas: Monetary - Cold, Hard Cash - Of course, cash is appreciated by anyone. You can give whatever amount you wish and the provider can choose how to use it. You could just come up with an amount you'd like to give, or give her an extra week's pay or give her a voluntary raise in each weeks fee.

Daycare Provider Gift Ideas: Pampering: - Day Spa Certificate - Your provider spends a lot of time taking care of children and taking care of her family. Give her a day where somebody takes care of her. She can choose from a massage, a facial, a manicure or a pedicure.
- Hair Salon Certificate - It can be for a service she's used to or it would allow her to splurge on something she's never had done before.
- Nail Salon Certificate - Daycare providers are typically not very good at doing special things for themselves. A nice set of acrylics or a french manicure is probably something they don't do for themselves very often.
- Foot Massager - A daycare provider's day is spent mostly on her feet. Nothing would feel better after a long day of chasing after children than to sit down on the couch and turn on a foot and calf massager.
Daycare Provider Gift Ideas: Entertainment - Concert/Play Tickets - Tickets to the local theater or to an upcoming concert coming to your town would give your provider a nice evening out.

- Book Store Gift Card - Another very versatile gift. No matter your provider's taste, she'll be able to find a book to enjoy.

- Net-Flix Membership - A monthly subscription service to have movies delivered right to her house.
Daycare Provider Gift Ideas: Interests and Hobbies - Add to a Collection - Find out if your provider has an special item she collects such as angels, dolphins, or unicorns. Then add to the collection. You could find an item in any price range you're aiming for.
- Professional Sports Clothing - Buy her a t-shirt, sweatshirt or any other item from her favorite sports team.
- Hobby Supplies - Scrapbooking and stamping are two very popular hobbies. For any hobby she may have, buy supplies she would not be willing to buy herself.
