| I've had someone watch my kids 4-6 hrs/ week, almost every week, since Sept. What would you give in this situation? |

| It depends on what you think she might appreciate. As mentioned on several other threads, cash in an envelope is always a safe thing. |

| This belongs in the babysitter section, not the general section for nannies. |

| Some would call her a nanny. Who cares? |

I saw an article in this month's Good Housekeeping magazine and it stated for a babysitter/nanny the equivalent of one typical shift.
That sounds best to me. And if your kiddos have the ability and inclination, a hand made card from them would be the icing on the cake. |

I do 8 hours a week with a family and last Xmas I got 8 hours worth of cash in an envelope and some chocolates with a card. I'd only been working for them for three months before so I didn't even expect anything, but it was surely extremely nice.
Cash is always best, but for someone so part-time I think some chocolates or a bottle of wine would be lovely. |

If it's about a babysitter, it belongs in with discussion on babysitters. If it's a question about nannies, there are several threads already active. |
