In this case then, I would be getting concerned if she requested the time but didn't specify whether she would be using her remaining leave or if she was asking for unpaid leave. I would not recommend getting in the habit of allowing her extra paid time off, or advancing leave - especially if she's relatively new in her tenure with you. (We have had a nanny for three years now and we're flexible about time and leave in ways we never would have been in the beginning, but that's built on trust and established/demonstrated good faith on all sides.)
Without knowing the specifics of her tenure and your satisfaction with her performance I can't say exactly what I'd recommend, but I do think that at minimum you need a clear conversation with her about leave, expectations for time off, etc..
