[quote=Anonymous]I think in this case you should give your nanny a little bit of space. I wouldn't call her anymore than you already have. Maybe you can send her a text or an email. Reiterate how sad you are for her, ask her if there's anything you can do and then ask for the address and information about the funeral. I think that 1-2 weeks off will be enough. She will obviously still be grieving, but I'm sure by that point it will be better for her to get back into a routine and being busy. In your email I would tell her that you want her to take as much time as she needs, and that you will be able to cover up to two weeks PTO for her.

Unfortunately as an MB that hires a nanny you sometimes have to take a hit when it comes to a family emergency like this. It's difficult, but you sound like a reasonable MB who wants to give her nanny plenty of time to recover from her loss. Do you have any family in the area? Even if you had to fly a parent in or something I'm sure that you being able to stay at work for the 1-2 weeks would more than recoup the cost of the plane ticket. [/quote]
