If your nanny's daughter had a baby- Do you get her a gift for her daughter? Lives far away.

We've had this sitter for years. I never met her family but she is like family to us. We remember her birthday and we give her a big Christmas bonus. She I send her daughter something? Her other daughter is getting married, I wasn't invited... I wasn't planning on getting her daughter a gift... what would you do?

Why don't you ask her if there is something you can get her for her (the sitter's house) that she would like for when the baby visits. It would help the new mom out because she wouldn't have to bring a bouncer/pack-n-play/high chair with her, but would go to the person you actually know.

Do a hand me down or a little thing. Were you invited to the shower?

No , I wasn't.

I would probably get my nanny a "grandma" gift--like the pp said, some baby gear to keep at her house, or even just some nice books for her to read to the baby when he/she comes to visit.

Take that as a sign. Find a onesie that says "My grandma loves me" or a picture frame or something and give it to the nanny.

what's a sitter? A baby sitter? Like comes and watches the kids on date nights?

And your adult baby sitter's adult daughter whom you have never met and who lives out of state is having a child and you don't know what to do?
Well, if you love giving gifts give a gift! Might be better to give it to the sitter, or make it a thematic Xmas gift.
And if you are too busy with other life priorities don't - no one in this situation would expect you to give a gift.
