birthday gift ideas nanny image
Chels,<3.
I am a nanny and my nanny mom's birthday is coming up. She has absolutely everything and I have no idea what to get her. She likes cakes, and cupcakes, but I can't get her that because she has a specific lady who makes all of her cakes. I really like her and want to put a lot of thought into this gift. Please help!

What are some good ideas for getting children to participate in charity?

I am the nanny for a 15 month old child, and they want her to start to learn about giving. Are there any good charity events that she could actually learn and benefit from?
I already thought about visiting a nursing home, but they didn't love the idea. Any more suggestions?
Answer
The best way is by setting a good example. Let her see you participate and explain to her some people need help and also that some day you may need help (you never know) and the world is a better place when we have compassion for people. One of the best things my daughter's English teacher did was to assign them to interview an elderly person, it could be a relative or someone in a nursing home, and then write a paper about that person's life. We had older relatives, but she wanted to go to a nursing home. We spent most of the afternoon there, the little lady was fresh in her mind and talked for hours, but it was heartbreaking to leave, she didn't want us to and kept engaging us in conversation. And one of the best things was that it was the lady's birthday, the front desk nurse suggested this lady to interview. We brought a bouquet of carnations, because I told my daughter it wasn't nice to go there without a little gift. The lady said "Oh, you brought a gift for my birthday!" We didn't know but she was alone so it was good for her. (my daughter got an A on her paper and the teacher thought it was excellent) I think 15 months is young for a child to understand the concept of charity, sometimes parents will ask their children to select some of their toys or even one toy and donate it to children who have nothing, like at a shelter. Or buy something and let her give it to a charity. You have to be careful at a nursing home with a young child, some people are like babies themselves and may grab or say something to scare her. Another way to give without spending $ is to volunteer to help someone besides a friend or relative, she will learn by example if they start doing that.
