[quote=Anonymous]More info OP.

Are you flying?  Then, an extra ticket could be expensive and a show-stopper.
 
If driving, would this mean another vehicle?   Is that the complication?  Does your nanny have a car and could she drive it to the vacation location?

I like the suggestions that you offer covering meals [that you are worried about paying for] in exchange for some "mother's helper" time, loosely.

Unless there is something with your kids requiring an extra set of hands beyond parents, you and DH should and could otherwise manage your own set of kids on your own vacation.   A traveling nanny to do all the stuff you don't want to do while away, quite frankly, is not an entitlement.  When you make a larger family, you are responsible for them.

So my vote is for trying a compromise with your nanny.    It is likely there is a privilege gap, and no wonder her daughter would like to come on a nice vacation.  I realize this is not your responsibility.  But, you asked her and she gave you a response.    If things were different, you would be on the other side of this coin.    Unless there are zero job openings, I would look around for another employer if you stand at no.  (I am a parent and not a nanny, just FYI)[/quote]
