Tip whatever you’d pay in a normal week. For the gift I usually get her something related to her interests or family-cookbook or kitchen stuff, something for her pet, something for her kids, that kind of thing.

I babysat my way through grad school and the gift I appreciated the most was a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. I never would have splurged, but they basically forced me to do something nice for myself.

Tip should be at least the equivalent of one week’s pay

Our former full time nanny now provides after school care for us 3 days/week 9 hours/week). We need a good idea for a physical gift and a sense of what’s a nice amount for a cash gift.

Thanks!
