[quote=Anonymous]Op, what do you mean “ Before Christmas she asked us for a small advance to help cover the holidays, which she's since paid back (through working) and things have gone without a hitch.”

you don’t pay her for holidays? Why did she need an advance over Christmas? Or did she need more money than what you regularly pay her? How long has this nanny worked with your family?

Check with the nanny what is her preference, whether it is to take paid leave (part of her 10 days) while you’re away, or do some housework / cooking / prepping (just remember this is not Cinderella so don’t overburden her with house work), or take unpaid leave (there is enough time to find some part time gig) and keep her 10 days for a different time.

Also, take this as an opportunity to plan for the next 6 months or so, do you know when are your next vacations? Does she know when hers are? If she has some date preference, could you coordinate your vacation to fit hers?

I’d just pay the nanny for 1 week and ask her to pass by house, so laundry, water plants, this type of stuff. [/quote]
