[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"How much paid time do you get?"

You are clearly a nanny. Almost everywhere this is only 3 days and it is VERY common to limit this only to immediate family. Not sure if a mom's husband would qualify. Regardless though, OP already said they are giving her 5 days - 2 beyond the normal time, even for immediate family members.

OP - tell her you will have to do the 2nd week unpaid if she stay out since you have to hire backup care. I'd make it clear too though that it's not at all convenient to have to do that & likely costs you more than normal, but you are doing this as a favor for her because of how important she is to to you. (If you can hire the spare a 2nd week that is.)[/quote]

Please don't tell her how inconvenient this is for you. Most likely, she knows and feels bad about it. 
My dad just died and I took two days off to get my mind straight and my boss was really understanding. If they would have told me how inconvenient it was for them, I don't think I could have handled that. A family death is already stressful enough. Even if she wasn't close to her moms husband, seeing her mom in pain can't be much better. [/quote]
