[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you. 
I will wait to talk to nanny a few days after she is back (Tuesday or Wednesday) and get a better idea of how long she needs to be there.

My understanding is that she needs to be in home country when the body arrives so she needs to go 1-2 days before and the funeral will be 4 days after body arrives. So in 1 week she is done. Nanny has 10 brothers and sisters. Some live in home country and some in the US/Europe.  Mom lived in the US with dad. 3 kids (nanny + 2 siblings) lived in the US as well. The other 2 siblings are coming back after 1 week because of work and I am not sure why nanny needs to be there for 3-4. Also, nanny goes back to home country every year and I am sure she will go back this summer in July-August so she has other times to see her extended family.

It’s a really big ask of us to take a month off and get paid. I will ask why she needs to be there and then decide what to do.

Thank you for all your suggestions and[b] I feel like we will come to some kind of agreement about her pay for those 3-4 weeks[/b].[/quote]

There’s no “agreement” to come to regarding the pay. Stop approaching this like a negotiation. Tell her what you’re going to do: 
“We can pay for one week’s leave. After that, it will be leave without pay.” [/quote]
