[quote=Anonymous] The current contract is ambiguous and is also nonstandard.  This merits a sit down with your nanny to discuss what the actual policy is.  It is entirely possible that your nanny believes that she is in keeping with the contract. She is giving you several months notice so that you can arrange your vacation time to cover the week she needs to be gone.   It is possible that you will be able to work this out to your satisfaction, but my guess is that you insisting upon the cancellation of her summer plans in order to save you money is not going to go over well.  It is a pretty standard nanny park that at least one week of vacation can happen at the nanny's discretion.   If that is not something you can provide, then it will either cost you more in the time you spend replacing your nanny or it will cost you more because you will have to offer a higher salary to compensate for being so demanding.   It is of course possible that you will have a nanny who has few enough other options or has been in the field such a short time that she doesn't realize how unusual  this arrangement would be, so you can always hope for that  [/quote]
