Thanks for the replies. I love the idea but creativity and art aren't my best attributes. Can you please share how you made a scrapbook? Was it handmade or a booklet like on shutterfly? Did you include just the baby or yourself with yor charge? Did you include written dates/events? Thanks

I have my nf a scrapbook and mb cried she was so happy.

Yes, great idea. Our previous nanny did that when we parted under similar circumstances and we loved it. DC still likes to look at it 2 years later.

Nanny here- I think your idea is thoughtful & appropriate

MB here - I think your idea is great.

Perfect solution, scrapbook with pics.

I've been happily employed with an amazing family for a year. Recently MB got offered a surgical position in Boston ( live in NY). It is ending on a great note and it would have lasted many years if it weren't due to this opportunity. I will miss my charge and would like to give a farewell present. They have already talked about keeping in touch via email and stuff. We have had an amazing relationship and I know it's tough departing. What would be an appropriate gift? I was considering making a scrapbook of her year with me. I have a gazillion photos/videos. Also- I might get my charge a small gift ( she is 13 months).
