Just to clarify, I don't mean to much money. I mean what is the nanny going to do with a photobook just of your kid?

Not to mention that making one is time intensive. I barely find the time to make one for myself.

Cash is king

Agree. Afterall, if a magnet gets in water.... you know what happens!

Absolutely.

Two weeks pay (of what you usually pay, so it'll feel like 1 weeks pay for her) plus a little token. If she celebrates Christmas, a like a Christmas ornament frame with a picture of the kids (or her and the kids! Even better!)

Agree - we did a Shutterfly book and $$

No one wants an ornament of your kid lol and no one wants that magnet. A small photo book of the kid makes sense, along with the $, of course.

Money. As much as you feel is warranted. I'd say 2 weeks pay feels right for the amount of time you've been in the share.

We have been in a nanny share for the past 1.5 years. DS will be starting daycare - but the nanny will be continuing with the other family and a new family is starting. Do you usually give a gift of some sort on the last day? If so - what/how much?
