[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, she’s not “part of your family”. You don’t truly feel that way. 3-4 weeks is a long time to take off paid. [/quote] This post, on page 1 of the thread, sums it up. Stop thinking of your nanny as a member of the family when, obviously, she is not a member of the family. Then you can make decisions as an employer that make sense within the employment contract and in terms of the employment relationship. Trouble starts when you lie to yourself (and to the nanny) about what the relationship is. This woman take care of your kids and does some housework in exchange for money. You might get along well and like her on a personal level, but even those feelings are based on how she performs her job, not who she is as a person. You don't actually know her well enough to know if you'd like her, because the entire time you've known her, she has been your employee. How well do you let your boss get to know you?[/quote]
