[quote=Anonymous]If she is giving you months of notice, and has the PTO available, then yes, you give her the time off. It's two weeks, split up, and you have ample time to figure out another plan.

The Zika issue seems ... silly. How often in your professional relationship have you been bitten by a mosquito that also bit her? Not to mention that mosquito season is ending anyway. Or, require her to get tested when she gets back (and give her the time off to do so).

There is never a good time for a nanny to take a vacation. Are you going to be happier if she waits until after you have the baby?

I say this as a mom of four myself: you are being very self-centered right now. That's pregnancy for you, but this isn't your first rodeo, and you need to get some perspective. Before you say something kind of mean and unreasonable to your nanny, please take some time to imagine that you are the employee who just wants to use her vacation time. You know, before she has four children to watch, or three children coming apart for a few months because of a new sibling and mom on maternity leave.

Finally, it's not really fair to count her weekend days, either.[/quote]
