Among our peer group everyone gives their nannies 10 days of vacation. But as I mentioned because DH and I have around 4 weeks of vacation annually, we will give her nearly 4 weeks off paid each year, it’s just not of her choosing.
If she can't choose when she wants off then it isn't a vacation for her.
So public school teachers get . . . no vacation?
I got 10 days PTO of my own choosing when I was teacher.
My mom was a teacher in Ohio for 30+ years. She had 2 personal days a year and sick leave. She had to use one of her personal days each year to attend a professional conference she helped plan. The other day she saved to go to one of my school events. One day a year that wasn’t chosen for her by the school calendar.

I have to give my employer 1-3 months of notice and I don’t take more than a week at a time. All other times are considered working weeks, and at least half of my normal hours during a week without children is spent on larger projects: organizing and restocking children’s pantry, purging and replacing clothes, purging toys and reorganizing playroom, moving bedroom furniture and reorganizing kid’s bedroom, etc. 2. I have no vacation of my choice. For a family who has at least 4 weeks of vacation, and who will never ask me to go along and work, who knows at least 2 months prior to when they are going, I’m happy to agree that our vacations will be the same. I will never do large projects while they are gone, and I’m not going to pick up mail, water plants or care for animals.
The what now? The children's pantry? The children have a separate pantry?
This is a world with which I am not familiar.

NP. It is a vacation but a sucky because she can't plan for when she wants to go.
