[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I agree that after only four months of part time, a picture of your kids won't mean all that much to her, especially not in a year or two (sorry but it's true; might be different if you were staying in the area and she continued to see your family occasionally, but that's not the case).

Personally, although I myself love jewelry, every time I've gotten jewelry as a gift from nanny families it just makes me groan. They never get me anything that I really want to wear, and then I feel weird knowing they spent money (not a ton, I'm assuming $30-80 per piece) that I would've much rather had and been able to spend myself on something I would really use. (My current NF gave me a bracelet three years ago that I really dislike, but no gift receipt, last year they gave me a scarf that was nice but not my style, they did include a gift receipt, and I exchanged it for something I did like.)

My advice, if you were really pleased with her and want to offer something to show your gratitude, is either a visa gift card (as PP mentioned above), or a gift card to a cute little boutique shop (jewelry store or otherwise). It would be nice to have the kids color a goodbye card for her, but a framed picture of them is really unnecessary. [/quote]
