[quote=Anonymous]Some of these responses are unnecessary harsh towards OP.

OP, I'm a nanny and have had two long term (to me) positions. One for 6 years and one for 4 years. In both positions, I was compensated 52 weeks a year guaranteed pay, whether or not I was needed for whatever reason, asked to arrive later/leave earlier, and thankfully, when hurricane hit and couldn't go to employer's home. With both positions, we never really discussed what my vacations would be as I'm a homebody and never thought to bring up. I took very few (probably asked for 3 weeks off myself in the 10 years and with at least a month notice) but when I did or needed a day off or hours off for a doctor's appointment, etc, I was never docked any pay. I can understand the frustration if you as an employer have a nanny who takes up all the vacation weeks and the year is still yet to be over.
If you would like to keep her, I would give the week after wedding off paid and count it as a wedding gift, BUT definitely let her know that this isn't going to keep continuing when she takes more weeks off on her own accord in the same year.

By the way, yes, $80k is a great salary for a nanny. Anyone who says it isn't is lying af. [/quote]
