[quote=Anonymous]MB here. 6 months is ridiculous and I don't even know of any other job where you have a 6 month waiting period before taking vacation is allowed 3 months seems customary in the non nanny world but even then I think that is too long as a nanny. DC's nanny started in April and she had a 2 week trial period where either party could end termination without issue. Following that 2 week trial, she had a 4 week period where she couldn't take paid vacation days. Sick or personal was fine (personal days could be taken on a day by day basis, any consecutive days had to be taken out of vacation day stock). As for when she can take vacation...she has 2 weeks our choosing (because we go away for 2 full weeks throughout the year) and what amounts to a week and a half of vacation of her choosing, 5 sick days, and 3 personal days. Personal and sick days cannot be used for vacation. But she has guaranteed hours so the whole 2 weeks of our choosing doesn't really mean much other than the fact that she has very advanced notice of when she'll have time off. I hope I explained this ok. Allergies are killing me today and I'm in a bit of a brain fog. [/quote]
