[quote=Anonymous]In our contract, we offered 2 weeks vacation time and 3 sick days for our PT nanny (who works 3 days per week).  We wound up giving her 2 weeks of vacation over the summer, and when she wanted to take an additional trip this fall, I offered her the option of using her "sick" days since she seems to never get sick and it seemed unfair for her to effectively lose those paid days off as a penalty for not getting sick.  (I doubt our nanny would have cared if we hadn't offered sick time to begin with as several previous employers told us she very rarely, if ever, got sick--but I didn't want to put her in the predicament of feeling like she should come in to work when sick.)  I think having some flexibility can be really helpful--in return she has agreed to work some during the week of Christmas when we previously thought we'd be able to give her the week off.  For the new contract which will start in January I'm planning to offer the same deal or something similar--a couple of weeks vacation time, plus an additional week that could be used as sick time or at her discretion--i.e. for appointments or, if she prefers, vacation time.[/quote]
