[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Traveling with the family is definitely not a perk or special privilege.  It’s twice the work and no vacation at all for the nanny.  I personally hate it.

That depends on the family. I was a nanny for the same family for 5 years and often traveled with them. We worked out a schedule in advance that worked for all of us. I had the option of not going and being paid for the week but I enjoyed traveling with them. [/quote]

Did they pay you extra to travel with them? We’ve had a nanny for three years now but never asked them to travel with us. Did they pay you a per diem on top of your wage? [/quote]

We've traveled with our nanny.  We paid her travel costs and normal pay (what she'd typically earn in a week).  We like our kids, so they'd spend the day with us while the nanny vacationed as she pleased.  Then she'd watch the kids so we could go to dinner on our own in the evenings while the kids slept.  She'd put them to bed and then read a book or watch her tablet on the balcony or patio.  Definitely not working around the clock.  She was an extra set of hands on travel days.  [/quote]
