[quote=Anonymous]We brought our nanny along with us on a fabulous trip over the holiday - it was out of the country, and just beautiful.  We paid all her expenses.  All of them.  Plus, we paid for all her boyfriend's expenses except his airfare.  But, all his meals, he shared a room with the nanny, and they had a rental car (that we paid for).  Our nanny watched the kids during the day while they napped (she put them down) and gave them lunch.  They had every evening off.  Every evening.  Even NYE.   We even covered all their dinners out (when they were on their own - well, except for NYE - they didn't put that on the card.)

Basically, we had a 3 bedroom place on the beach.  We would all get up at our own times, we would make breakfast, coffee, etc and whenever nanny and boyfriend would get up, they'd either join us, grab some breakfast and coffee, or just get coffee and go out the the living area - but she wasn't responsible for the kids.  We'd head to the beach and nanny would either come down to the beach and get the kids for lunch/nap or if she was at the beach already, take the kids back to the house for lunch/nap.  Afterwards, we'd typically be back from the beach and they did their own thing and we did our own thing.

Well, we are back and the nanny is now seeming to be fishing for some thank you's or some extra money or something because of the trip.  I feel like her 'extra money" was in the way of us covering her and her boyfriend's vacation - which is what she practically had.  We didn't have to cover his expenses - hell, we could've said he wasn't welcome.  but instead, we wanted this to be a vacation of sorts for everyone, including her even though she was on payroll.  And for the record we didn't make her come.  We offered this to her.  and she said yes.

So now here I am thinking she's grateful for our vacation gift to her and her bf and thinking I'll be getting a thank you (which we didn't - not even from the bf) and instead I'm getting these comments/hints about how I owe her something for the trip.

What do you think?[/quote]
