How much is everyone giving their care giver for Christmas?

I gave my husband's aids house plants. He has a weekday aid and two aids that alternate weekends. Since they all come from the same agency, I didn't want any comparisons. Then I took edibles (fruit, veggies& dip) to the agency office staff as a thank you for their diligence in making sure my husband had consistent staffing by very caring people this past year. These gifts didn't cost a lot but were appreciated.

6 hours and does the minimum?
Then nothing.
Sorry, I am the Grinch in the family and think this whole gift thing is overdone anyway. I would, were I that green man, toss the presents and make them surround the tree in love yearly instead.

So I would avoid a whole lot of Christmasy talk. Just go on with normal life. Don't have a multitude of wrapped packages everywhere indicating you are gifting the entire world ACCEPT for her.

If not, then a 50.00 gift card for Trader Joe or something might be nice.
But I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time thinking on all this. I would be decorating instead, or were I a person of Faith I would be in my church.

If she is private, you can give her one weeks pay. A days pay if she comes 2 or 3 hours a day. A nice giftcard.

Really, at 6 hrs a week what can you expect but the bare minimum. Not much time to do anything other than what she can do in six hours a week. An aides job is to care for the client. 6 hrs just covers dressing, bathing and making lunch. Maybe a little vacuuming and dusting. Maybe some laundry.

Is this caregiver from an agency? Many agencies have restrictions as to how much they can accept.
If this is a private pay I would give her what she gives ... the bare minimum.
Give her what you are comfortable with, given what you have said I probably would not give more than a day's pay. ... if that..
I think I would also have a sit down with her and tell her that things should improve.
I'm curious what she does in the 6 hours a week and if that is 6 hours in 1 day or 2 hours 3 days a week?
There are plenty of caregivers looking for work.
There are agencies that will do hourly jobs and it sounds like this is more "companion" caregiving not a lot of "hands on" caregiving.

Ours were not allowed to accept gifts but we still gave a little something as acknowledgement, like a gift card to the coffee shop and an amaryllis plant. I think as long as it's kept under $20 it's not going to cause them any difficulties.
