Children gifts

[Anonymous]

Hello Nannies and Families,
I have an offer with a high profile family that is willing to fly me to see them before job start. However, what do you think that I can give the children as gift? They're are 7 months, 3 years and 5 years. Please I need some advices.
Thank you

Books. Only bring books as a gift.

When I visit my former charges I bring a simple inexpensive gift that would interest them.... for example I bought minecraft stickers for a 9 year old boy and unicorn stickers for his 6 year old sister.
They family is well off (compared to me anyway)

Don't spend too much money.

If you do decide on "books" ask the parents what reading level the children are at and what the children are interesting in reading and what they are allowed to read.

Get one of those books called "Five Minute Stories." Those books are great for the two oldest kids, and then get the baby a board book with baby faces.

For an interview? Nothing, you don’t know them. Instead, spend the time to think of questions that show you are interested in the parents and children.

Don't do stickers. They get everywhere and not everyone appreciates them. A few of your favorite books. You don't need a gift. This is a job interview.

I agree, age appropriate books are best. One each. Ditty bird is great for the babies. This one would be good for the 7 year old:

Don't have a rec for the 5 year old.

Oops, scratch that last Amazon link!! Sorry. Wrong book and I can't find the one I have in mind. But music is always a good topic.

OP here, please give me some advice. The family bought the plane ticket. I feel bad to go without any gift. Children 6 months, 3 years and 5 years.
Thank you

OP, I think people ARE giving you advice on here.
While gift wise books are the best choice - I do not think it is necessary or even expected that you purchase a gift for each child.
However if you do > it is best to go w/an age-appropriate book.

Nothing. You are going for an interview. If you accept job then you can give each a small, inexpensive gift.

Consumable art supplies are always a good idea, too. Colored washable pencils and small drawing pads for the older two kids, maybe?
