[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this particular situation, and especially given the nature of her job responsibilities two months is not enough. No employee working for a company is allowed to take vacation without first requesting those dates off from her employer. I have never had a job where I could book a vacations without first requesting those dates in advance. My jobs required that I request time off as early as possible as possible. Our plans to take vacation in December was cancelled when my husband’s employer declined to allow him to take 2 weeks off in December. [/quote]

This is not that situation, and thank goodness not everyone has such employers!!! Think about it, PP. You really think employers should all be allowed to dictate when you can take your paid leave? Of course some companies and institutions put pressure on employees to do just that... but it shouldn't be this way.

I'm a research scientist and I work with animals. When you pick that sort of field, you go in with the understanding that your schedule is not entirely your own. When I needed to work with newborn mice thymus, I went in any day or any hour that the pregnant mice decided to give birth. Which was often on a Sunday, because that's when the labs are quietest. No weekends for me.

But here, no. The nanny can pick her own vacations with acceptable notice, unless her contract says otherwise. If OP wishes, she can write a new contract to reflect that.
