[quote=Anonymous]We give two weeks - one week of the nanny's choice and one of ours, which she could use consecutively.  We usually end up giving another week or two, because we might take a vacation in the summer but then also take a couple of days off between Christmas and New Years or something and we give as much notice as possible so she can try to plan something if she needs.  We also offer all federal holidays that we are off - so Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. as well as additional days we get off which are not federal holidays (ie: Day after Thanksgiving , Christmas Eve), but not Columbus Day, Veterans Day, etc. when we are expected at work.

The reality is you have to offer what works for you - three paid weeks (or frankly unpaid weeks) at a time plus federal holidays we have to work wouldn't work for us. Nanny candidates have to find jobs that offer the right perks for them.  It doesn't sound like you've found a good match, honestly.  Whether or not what she is asking for is typical (and I don't think it is), she obviously needs the chunk of time to go home and will keep looking for a job that is going to let her have that. And if you plan to ask her to go in December or around Christmas, than I agree with her - international flights anywhere are significantly more expensive at that time (by hundreds sometimes even thousands of dollars).[/quote]
