[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Anytime we don't need our nanny because we are away, or have company, or whatever, we pay her.  If she is ready and able to work, but we CHOOSE not to use her, then we pay her (this is for our full-time nanny, not for occasional babysitters or part-time or temporary people.)

I would do that whether or not the nanny is a live-in.

Thanks everyone! We will pay her. I wasn't looking for an excuse not to and it has nothing to do with us not affording our vacation if we pay her (we're just driving to relatives two hours away, nothing fancy). I just wanted to know how throw is commonly handled.[/quote]

01.11 here.  Common practice is to pay regardless of whether the nanny works or not.  Few families find nannies willing to go without pay while NF is on vacation and nanny may also need to vacate her living space.  With that said, I've worked with several families who made it clear that my food while they were gone was my responsibility, which was fine with me, but I was paid, and although I wasn't required to work while they were gone, I cooked ahead for my charges and did  various child-related tasks which I couldn't do as easily when the kids were there (cleaning all the toys and reorganizing them, sorting through clothes).[/quote]
