We have had a wonderful babysitter for 2 years. She has taken the best care of our daughter, and is so dependable.Unfortunatly we are moving to NC in a couple of weeks. Last night she took our 4 y/o daughter out for a little going away evening of movie, dinner and shopping. I would like to get her a thank you gift for all that she has done for us over the past 2 years. Any suggestions?.........TIA
thank you ladies! I am hooked on the gift card and picture frame idea, but would it be weird or tacky to give her just a picture of our daughter?
Unfortunatly we don't have any pictures of the two of them together because we were never there to take one when they were together.
Get her a Scentsy warmer and a couple bars...she will LOVE it I promise!
A..scentsy.us order from my open party today!
What about a picture frame with a picture of your daughter and her together? I would look at Things Remembered and have a special thanks engraved in the frame. That would be something that would be cherished for a long time if not a lifetime!
I have been babysitting for a family for over two years and we're like family. When it is an occasion mum usually has the kids do a picture, card, bake stuff as well as give cash or a visa gift card.
I think that giving a frame with a picture of the sitter and your daughter plus a gift card or cash would be great. You can also get your daughter to do a picture and or card for her and you could write a heartfelt message from your family. I think she will really appreciate it.
Good luck especially with the move.
I am often given as a gift in such occassions. You purchase a gift certificate from me that she can spend at her appointment. Then I give her a call and set up her Mary Kay facial. It is a one hour pampering session that comes with a paid gift certificate. She will enjoy the one on one attention. She is pampered and can ask any skin care or color cosmetic question she desires. The best part is that she can learn about how to care for her skin for a lifetime and that is priceless.
I'm sure she will miss your daughter, but it sounds like she is probably the type that will keep in touch over the years.
Sincerely,
R.

I just gave ours a goodie bag for her trip to Europe w/ $ in the card my daughter made. The goodies all had ladybugs which are a reminder of my daughter and the $ (100) for Euro exchange (or not.) Gift cards, $, or something drawn or made by your daughter would probably be special to her.
Sorry your losing someone so special to your family, but so great to have a wonderful person at a such a pivotal time: )

How about a scrapbook with pictures from over the years that she will be able to look back on. I would also give her a tip or a gift card of some sort. I wish we were able to find a sitter that we were so fond of. that's great that you had!
Money. Our nanny has been with us for almost 2 1/2 years, which will end in August when my daughter starts pre-school full time. And in the end I think the best thing you can do is give a bonus, like an extra week's pay. And not a gift card . . . just straight out cash. Sure, you can package it in something sentimental . . . maybe something made by your daughter like a little scrapbook.
I have been babysitting for 16 years and ran a daycare. I hate to say it but the most rememorable items are gift cards or bonuses (cash). It's true I can't tell you how many lotions or candles I had to "regift" as I wouldn't be able to use them all or they were scents I really didnt care for.
Just want to be honest. Why don't you have your four yo make a card. Frame a pic of them together and either give her a gift card (to a really usable place) or cash. Usually for Christmas my families give me between 50-150 dollars.
A gift card would be nice to Walmart, Target, or Marshalls.
