[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly do not get the mindset of those who employ nannies thinking its a true vacation when YOU choose the dates. You are not giving your nanny two weeks as PP have said. I totally understand that there are many who do this and have decided that its fair.

We always have given our nanny (and 1x week housecleaner) two weeks paid vacation-their choice. As it happens-we always also [b]give the week between Christmas and New Years off with pay as we like having house to ourselves if in town[/b]. Our nanny has worked for us for 12 years and I paid her for half of a recent 4 week emergency visit home (in addition to regular vacation) She watches the most precious people in my life and goes above and beyond for us. I hope your nanny finds a new position soon. I would advise her as a friend that you are not a fair employer.[/quote]

You obviously don’t work. OP needs the nanny to watch her most precious (gag) people while she and her husband work. [/quote]

Not only do I work-I am self employed so any day I don't work I don't get paid and no one pays my sick or vacation days. Same w/DH. We choose to have the week between Christmas and New Years as family time. In our minds we are also 'gifting' our nanny that week and in a way its added to her year end bonus. We know for a fact that some years she picks up extra work this week from families needing help w/their kids out of school-and good for her if the opportunity for money is better than time off-but entirely her choice.[/quote]
