Does the nanny speak the language of the destination?

sorry that's vacation maybe the nanny doesn't want to use it?

This is the posters vacation, not the nanny's. The nanny will be working.

Op is traveling for work.

It's not a free trip and a great opportunity for her. She will be working. When I was in college I did these trips and my parents promised me time off. I rarely got more than a few hours. This is a job for her.

OP should pay all meals, all travel related expenses, have her work 8 hours a day M-F or normal schedule and private hotel room. Plus, bonus money for days away from home and travel time. $100 is really tacky. At least $250 a night/day.

What do you do at home? Do you pay for her meals or have an kitchen policy, why would it be any different? Pay for her plane ticket. Why's would you pay a travel bonus? Do you pay her for the time commuting?Pay for her regular hours and any extra over her normal hours when she is performing her job of watching the children. .

This kind of disparate treatment based on age is literal discrimination.

It's not about treating her differently, it's about whether she will WANT to do it.

This. Your lawyer, CPA or payroll service can advise how to pay under the laws of your state.

Just keep in mind that the laws are the *minimum*, not necessarily what the nanny expects.
