[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Apparently she has in laws who can take the kid for breaks, and perhaps camps for summer. Guess I should ask about summer. [/quote] Yea, a nanny is going to work all summer with your kids, nurturing and enriching them, and take her whole measly paycheck and turn around and stick her kids in a shitty camp and beg her in-laws to babysit 5 days a week. Your nanny will be gone come summer and you will basically be paying her to do stuff with her own kid and half-heartedly watch your 2 on the side. Think carefully.[/quote] It depends on the nanny and her back up. For snow days, she shouldn't be on the road anyway, so staying home with her kid is fine. If her child's school is cancelled due to weather, she may not have enough time after finding out to be able to do anything else with her daughter, so daughter might come along. Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring breaks, and other school closings are set, so she should be able to have someone scheduled for those days. My concern would definitely be for summer. Are you open to a rotating schedule, say 1 week camp, 1 week in-laws, 1 week with her and your twins?[/quote] Oh, and definitely address costs of activities. Normally, employer pays for their kids and the nanny, because the nanny wouldn't go if she wasn't taking the kids. You should be able to dictate that if she doesn't want to pay for her child, her child doesn't come with her that day. Passive aggressive way of dealing with summer break would be to have something scheduled every day (season passes to a variety of things), and the nanny either gets a season pass for her child, or she finds alternative care for her child.[/quote]
