Thank you gift for nanny

PAGASPAGAS member

I wrote her a long, heartfelt thank you letter this evening.  I want to get her something else, any ideas?  Money?  If so, how much? 

DH is being no help.

    What about a nice trip to a spa.  Something along the lines of "thank you for helping me relax while at work, now take some time to yourself to relax."

    Does she have another position lined up?  If not, I think cash would be better than an actual gift.  If so, I love the spa idea.

    I think cash is probably the most practical/helpful gift for her, or a giftcard to  Target or something. Anywhere from $50 - $100.

    I agree with cash if she doesn't have something else lined up. If she does I like the spa day gift card. I don't think you could go wrong with either of those.

    I agree with cash if she doesn't have another job.  I'd probably give her $200-$250.  I don't know what her situation is.  Does she do the pamper thing?  I know Maira wouldn't be so into that.  However, she would like a gift card she could use on herself.  I know she likes Victoria Secret and Old Navy (I've been helping her Dave Ramsey her debt so I have seen her credit card statements).  You could take her out to a nice dinner, give her flowers, and a smaller amount of cash or something.  Not sure how big of a deal you want to make out of it...

    She has something lined up (thanks to quartzcpw!) staring next Monday, so that is set.  I think money wouold probably be the most appreciated, so now just to determine an amount. I think a couple hundred bucks seems fair, but I am not sure.

    When I left my nanny position I received a nice chunky check,some Godiva (my old boss was a "fancy things" person) and a picture of my charge. I thought it was a wonderful sending off gift.

    This sounds perfect to me.
