[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need some advice. I love our nanny. We have had her for 11 months. My 3 yr old adores her to pieces. I have two children; 3 yrs old and 8 months. We give our nanny paid vacation. However, in her contract we asked for a minimum of a months notice when requesting for time off. Unfortunately, we don't have any family around and we need time to get back up. Last month, we discussed her taking off from Dec 23 to jan 5th. We all agreed on those days off. Today, she asked me if it would be okay to take off from dec 23 -Jan 21st. She wants to go back to her country to visit her family and put airline tickets on hold.

While, I understand she wants to take more time off. This is no notice! I am willing to try and make it work for her because I do want her to be happy. But, on the other hand what are we going to do for childcare?

I am interested in how you would handle it?[/quote]
No way, too long.
You made an agreement last month and have several valid reasons you need to stick to it.

If she is adamant about a 5 week vacation in January is slash her bonus and tell her not to return. Her priorities are way off, as is her understanding of her job. if you do want to bend over backwards for her co snider not paying for her trip jam 5-23rd or whatever as you will need the funds for daily daycare or another nanny.[/quote]
