[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you mean that your nanny has been out for 11 days since she started with you in August?

That would be untenable for me unless she had planned vacation in advance of taking the job, or had gotten ill, etc...   I would have set the vacation up as her annual vacation leave, within the given year starting when she accepted the position - not the calendar year.   It's not uncommon in the corporate world to have a policy where you can't take vacation leave at all until after the probationary period has passed (barring extenuating circumstances of course).  But, that's a moot point.

Are you pleased with her performance thus far?  It's hard to find a great nanny who is a great fit for the parents as well as the kids - so if you have found someone like that, then I think it's worth being as considerate as possible.

If not, then I think it's time for a very frank conversation with her on her performance thus far, her satisfaction in the job, your expectations and limitations around leave time (paid or unpaid), etc...

On just this little bit of info my hunch is that this is not going to be a long-term employee.  Sorry.[/quote]
