I have a question for other nannies regarding the end of nanny jobs. I have been with my current family for 9 months as a live-out nanny, and my job ends next week as my boss is taking maternity leave. I will not be coming back, and I wanted to get them something meaningful as a thank you. They have been the most amazing people to work for, and I know that I will want to still be a part of their lives.
I am making them a
Shutterfly book out of pictures I have taken of their son (aspiring photographer). I'm not sure if this is enough, what have other nannies done for their bosses? I just want to show them my appreciation and also make sure they know I would like to still be a part of J's life.

I think the picture book is enough. it shows you have taken the time to capture moments of their child they missed when not there. Then you took the time to put all those memories into a special place where they can go back and look at them when he is bigger.
I rarely do more than pictures. It's so sweet you're thinking of them!
FWIW, I worked for one family for 8+ years. When I "left" (i.e. stopped working for them... did not/will not stop hanging out with them), I gave them a series of Shutterfly books of all of our time together. They LOVE them.
Thank you for the responses! My last day is Thursday, and I cannot even imagine not being able to watch the 3 year old grow up. Great families can be hard to find, I hope I love the next family as much as the ones I am leaving!
