| We've had a babysitter for many weeks this summer. Her last week is approaching and I am thinking about what to give her as a thank you. She is a college student. Should we just give her money? How much? Gift card? We already gave her a more personal gift earlier in the summer. |

| I was a nanny two summers in college. Both times the families gave me a generous cash bonus at the end of the summer, and it was the best. I don't recall how much it was for the first family, but the second family doubled my paycheck for the last week. |

A week's pay. |

| A week's pay seems like a lot. Isn't that what professional nannies get for a whole year's work? Rather than just a summer. |

| No way am I giving my summer nanny a week's pay. |

Agree. That's a Holiday bonus for a full year nanny. $100 would be nice. |

| Cheap, cheap, cheap. |

| I was also thinking $100. |

| We have always given our summer nannies between $50-100. Every one of them has said it's the most they've every gotten, so I think the "week's pay" PPs are either nannies or delusional! |

What would you give a summer babysitter? |

bump --we would like to give a good gift our 20-something, local teacher summer sitter.
Any suggestions for gifts other than this, and for the cash amount? |
