The ad included the hours and some other terms. I did not specifically plan to hire a college student, but she seemed pretty on point and responsible. T had already turned two and was pretty verbal, so I figured someone young and energetic would be a good choice especially since we were only looking for three afternoons per week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2727307 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 09:23:17 +0000 Anagram 2727307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ElbieKay: This is random, but I didn't know you have a college student baby sitter. How did you find her?</p> <p>I'm still trying to find good options for after school care next year for LO1 that don't involve me doing 2 separate pickups, so someone picking her up and giving snack and playing with her for a couple of hours each day is ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2727233 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 07:47:38 +0000 ElbieKay 2727233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. I went with a gift card to a restaurant that has fantastic cocktails. She is a college student so I don't think she gets to go out for nice dinners too often. I also found a hilarious musical animated card which will probably make her chuckle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2725455 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 20:06:48 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2725455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote gift card! Inside a handwritten card by LO (not sure how old) or if she's really small, trace her hand shape in the card and "sign" her name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2725407 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 18:40:49 +0000 youboots 2725407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our babysitter just turned 16 and I gave her a gift card to target. She watches T about 8 hours a month </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2725403 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 18:37:42 +0000 Littlebit7 2725403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a gift card to a local restaurant that's kinda nice. I almost wrote a bottle of wine...but that implies that you think she will (or does) drink. Not that there anything wrong with that, but the 21st birthday is already alcohol-centric enough. That way with a gift card, she can do whatever she wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2725401 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 18:35:56 +0000 littlejoy 2725401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought ours a Cubano sandwich, a cupcake, and a gift card to Target. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2725397 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 18:26:38 +0000 erinbaderin 2725397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A cute frame with a photo of your child and your nanny and a gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nanny-birthday-gift#post-2725354 Mon, 17 Apr 2017 17:02:39 +0000 ElbieKay 2725354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our afternoon sitter is a college student who is turning 21 next week! Any suggestions for gift ideas? </p>
