How to thank/show appreciation to cm

6 replies

Our cm is fantastic. She is amazing with DS and he adores her. So much good has come of him being with her. I appreciate her so much! I want to do something for her - just a little appreciation gift/ a small extra thank you. We've only been with her for about a month, but we are so happy and I really want to do something a little extra? CM's what have parents done for you that you have really liked? Parents what have you done for cm that they really liked?
I know it's not a burning issue or anything but I thought I might get some ideas on here

Flowers, chocs, bottle of wine, smellies, a thank you card - not necessarily all of them! Best still, just tell her how appreciated she is

Someone bought us a box of chocs last week which I thought was really really nice of the. It doesn't matter what you get, it's the thought that counts, I'd be happy with a card!!

chocolates is a good idea. I'll do that on Monday. I know it's enough to just say that I appreciate her but I just feel like I can't express it enough! I was going to try to do something creative at home with ds but as he's quite young and I'm not all that crafty I thought that might be not so great... and it would pale in comparison to the lovely stuff he brings home.

I'm so grateful for cms in general, too... so that mothers can work and afford high quality childcare without having to send dc to nursery with loads of other kids or hire a nanny for loads of money.

oh, just saw your profile - you're at the opposite end of the country! Guess not, that would be a loooooong commute every morning
