[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has vacation that she already took and sick days - only 1 left. She used most of them very quickly - literally in 2 months..  [/quote]

In this case then, I would be getting concerned if she requested the time but didn't specify whether she would be using her remaining leave or if she was asking for unpaid leave.  I would not recommend getting in the habit of allowing her extra paid time off, or advancing leave - especially if she's relatively new in her tenure with you.  (We have had a nanny for three years now and we're flexible about time and leave in ways we never would have been in the beginning, but that's built on trust and established/demonstrated good faith on all sides.)

Without knowing the specifics of her tenure and your satisfaction with her performance I can't say exactly what I'd recommend, but I do think that at minimum you need a clear conversation with her about leave, expectations for time off, etc..[/quote]

Frankly, our satisfaction with her performance is pretty poor. This is the other part of the story. As she has already used most of her sick days in such a short time, we wonder wha's gonna happen when she is really sick and needs time off.. [/quote]
