[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that her leaving early and the week in October should all come out of PTO. Why not count that as part of the “3 weeks of your choosing”? It’s not like you’re going to take a big vacation this year anyways.

Though I would ask her to quarantine for a week after she comes back from her wedding and vacation. I cannot believe she’s traveling right now!!!![/quote]

Unfortunately neither of us can take this week off so we will need to find backup care.  It’s a particularly busy work time in the fall until the holidays start

Also yes...don’t love the traveling, but obviously can’t tell someone what to do for their wedding / honeymoon and if we do ask her to stay home after it we will pay her (and other childcare l) bc it’s our choice [/quote]

We are in a similar situation. We started with our nanny in late February/early March. She had a planned 1-week vacation for April. No problem. Obviously, that vacation was canceled, and she was given a credit by the resort to reschedule later. She chose to take the week off in April anyway, then came to us in June saying she had to use her credit by the end of July, so needed another week off. In addition, she had taken 4-5 days off for various things, so that puts us 5 months into our time, with her having taken 3 weeks off already. The trip she took in July was to a hotspot, so we chose to keep our kids with the back-up nanny for an extra week, meaning we paid for 2 weeks of back-up care in July, 1 week of back-up care in April, and a few other days. Neither of her trips were an appropriate time for DH and me to take off work. So, we are annoyed but we are staying for now because she is really good with our kids and keeps them active and engaged.
