[quote=Anonymous]I would suggest talking to the nanny when you arrive. If your friend does talk to her nanny and the nanny agrees it would still be respectful of you to talk to the nanny yourself upon arrival. You can thank her upfront for agreeing to help with your kids (assuming this is the case) and assure her that you plan to compensate her for the help.

Speaking as a nanny I would imagine your friend's nanny would be very appreciative of your offer to compensate her for her help with your kids. Not all families would offer to do this, and often times the nanny ends up watching extra kids for free. Regardless of what your friend says about compensation you should do what you are comfortable with since it sounds like you feel most comfortable compensating the nanny so she doesn't feel taken advantage of.

I have done something similar...two families traveling (my nanny family and their family friends) with 5 kids total (2 were my charges). There were times along the 10 day trip I was responsible for all the kids. The other family compensated me once we returned. It was agreed upon upfront...per my employer's insistence that I was not free and convenient childcare for the other family.  [/quote]
