[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, here thanks! The vacation time is just a touchy thing for me, because I am a 10 month employee. I understand that our nanny will be paid for all 12 months, but we will honestly go down to part time for the summers. (Part time hours, not part time pay). Taking leave is super hard for me, because I have the summers off- so it would selfishly be easier to have  the nanny take some vacation time in the summer, if that makes sense. I get that I cannot dictate that, nor do I want to. 
Like i said, this is just new to me. [/quote]

OP, when it comes to vacation time there are a few ways to do it. Some employers offer more than the standard two weeks, (usually 4-6) but entirely at their discretion. Others offer two weeks, one of the nanny's choosing and one set by the employers. And some offer two weeks of the nannies choice but indicate that both weeks MUST occur during school holidays (or not during school holidays, or during the summer months, or whatever works for them). So do know that as you go into the negotiating process, dictating when she may take her vacation time CAN be something you put in your contract. :)[/quote]

PP here - need to add, this is something you would of course need to clear with the other family before deciding on, but if you're both in a similar position and agree to it, there are very few experienced nannies who haven't seen such a clause before.[/quote]
