What to give nanny for parting gift?

[Anonymous]

We have outgrown the need for a nanny and will soon be saying goodbye to our wonderful nanny whom we love. Aside from a monetary bonus, I'm at a loss as to what to give her for a parting gift. Any ideas?

Pictures, a scrapbook, letters/artwork from the kids, etc. I treasure the picture mugs, scrapbooks, and artwork I've been given in the past!

Send her and your children to a professional photographer, or do a special photo shoot yourself. Give her the photo framed. That was a favorite gift I received.

And of course give her the most amazing reference letter!
Kudos to you, OP.

You could cook her dinner or take her out to eat as one last hurrah.

Bless you, OP, for caring. I bet your children are amazing to.

I imagine your nanny would be thrilled to keep in touch and somehow still be part of your lives.

I would have loved to receive homemade cards from the kids or a framed pic of them.

I recieved a photo book. MB wrote a personal message. Then the 7 year wrote what a personal message as well. The MB wrote down what the other 2 wanted to say. I loved as others mentioned homemade gifts.
One other thing you can do is set up a time when you will see the nanny again. Whether it is for fun or you go on a date night. I highly recommend a monthly get toether.
