| Are you giving your nannies the full five days off and then January 1st the following week? |

| Not everyone gets the full week off from work. Christmas is ONE day. |

| Yes. Our nanny gets the full week off (paid, of course) plus January 1st. We offered her the 31st off but she said she’d miss DS too much. |

| Nanny here. Christmas Day and New Years Day I have as paid holidays. I am also taking 5 days of PTO. |

| She will be off from 3pm Friday 12/20 until morning of 1/2. Between arranging my days off (I make my own schedule), the holidays, and my parents, we can easily provide coverage for the week. |

Oh should add that this is paid (guaranteed hours) not part of her PTO |

| Our nanny has two weeks off, paid, as we are going to take the kids to my parents in Florida. |

It’s a major holiday to spend with family. It would be considerate to give your nanny the day off and at least either the day before or day after off. |

I do not understand this line of thinking. At most jobs, you get PTO and holidays. So you get the holiday off, and then if you want additional time off around the holiday, you use your PTO. Only in nanny-land, is the idea present that you should get “Christmas week” and the day-after-Thanksgiving as paid days off, in addition to PTO. Great if you can negotiate it, but generally not the way the world works. |

| Off at 1:00 on the 24th, back the morning of the 27th. Off early on the 31st. |

Oh, please - stop. You’re embarrassing yourself. If the family decides to go away, the nanny is paid. The other posters may well have nannies using their vacation or PTO. I’m sure this is a shock in your world, but lots of parents actually want to spend time alone with their children when they are off work. MB here. And you always post the most inane crap. |

Let parents have to work or take PTO. If they give nanny leave, they are taking PTO, hiring someone else or relative. We get two weeks off. That is it. |

| DH and will be working on Monday, 12/23, as well as a half-day on 12/26. Our nanny will be working those days, as well. The rest will be off. |
