[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would counter with a request that this time be equal to your weekly hours. I'd also want to make sure the contract was explicit with regard to how many weeks of vacation the family will take and how much notice they must give you. I'd want to make sure that if the family decided to take fewer vacations one year, that I wouldn't be cheated out of my vacation time. And the reverse as well, if they take extra vacation one year, outline that you will still get paid for that time, and what duties you are willing to do while they're away.

I might also consider asking that any unused PTO hours roll over year to year, and that they get paid out when you leave the position. This way there's some benefit to not being in control of your vacation time for the duration of this job. These are riskier requests though IMO, so think it through carefully. [/quote]
Do you honestly think there's any point to all that with such people? In my experience, highly unlikely.[/quote]

Pp here. My mom's a teacher, so she never had much choice about when we took vacations growing up. There are plenty of other careers that have a busy season and may only offer small windows of when vacation time would be feasible. So I can understand why a family in this position might offer a bit less vacation flexibility to their nanny. As long as the contract is explicit and fair, I think it could work. But if this is a deal breaker for op, then by all means she should walk. But she came here asking for advice so I gave it. [/quote]
