[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With our manny he gets to pick one week of vacation and we get to designate one week. We also ask that he gives us six week's notice of which week he wants to take.

Either your nanny gets to pick her week of vacation or doesn't. What does your contract say? If she gets to pick her week you have to let her pick her week, however inconvenient it may be. [/quote]

That sounds pretty inconvenient as an employee working for a two person employer. You change your vacation to exactly when the grandparents leave and husband returns to work from his (likely) two week paternity leave?

Please speak with your nanny again and explain the unique situation this summer and what was previously discussed.

Have you also spoken with her on how you both will work together during your mat leave and then once you go back to work? If not, please do that soon because as kids age or new babies come onto the scene there can be a lot to get on the same page about. She might not want to even handle two kids! 
But if she does, you two should be able to work something considerate out for both you and her regarding her personal vacation timing, or re-timing. If she chooses to screw you over to save a couple bucks then I would worry about her judgement or priorities. There are nannies out there that would "get" the situation here.  Just like you wouldn't go plan your vacation during earnings season, tax season or during a major reorg at the office.[/quote]
