[quote=Anonymous]We are new to the nanny employment world and want to make sure that we are doing the best we can. Our nanny is wonderful and our DD loves her. Whenever I have days off (mostly federal holidays, but a few other days here and there), I usually tell the nanny that I don't need her to come in. We are going on a week vacation this week and, of course, plan to pay the nanny while we are gone. I took tomorrow off from work intentionally to run a ton of errands, pack, and otherwise get ready for the trip. I was planning on having the nanny come in, even though I am off, so that I can do all those things much faster.

What is the general "rule" about this. Should the nanny get the day off because I am not at work? Do nannies resent coming to work to find the MB or DB is there? I really value our nanny and don't want to unintentionally cause any hard feelings and so am trying to figure out what is standard expectations for things like this. It is not in our contract that she will get the day off if I have the day off, but I also never really envisioned something like this.

Any advice is helpful. TIA.[/quote]
