[quote=Anonymous]OP Here.  Thanks for the replies.  My initial question was too wordy.  We love our nanny, and want her to be happy.  She will continue in the Fall.  Her hours will be reduced slightly, due to her college class schedule increasing to include morning classes, so she can only do afternoons.  She will be working for a neighbor of mine during the summer a few days a week and taking classes the other days. (and yes, I am sure this neighbor will not steal her away, she does not need care when her kids are in school)

I plan to continue to pay her for weather cancellations.  It is certainly not her fault if the weather precludes her from working.  I guess my question is:

1) Do you pay your part-time nanny for sick days? (if so, how many)

2) Do you pay your part-time nanny paid time off during school breaks? (Winter Break/Spring Break)

I would like to be a generous employer.  I would like our nanny to be happy.  She is a gem.  I worked as a summer live-in nanny for 6 years (same family all 6 years), so I know how great it can be to work for a generous and considerate family (my job), and how awful it can be to work for someone who works you beyond what you are paid for (a good friend's job).
