[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  I agree that weekend days don't count. Seven days, split into two segments, is nowhere near as disruptive to me as 10 working days off.

Would you rather have her gone when you're pregnant, or after the baby is born?  If you'd rather cope w/ the newborn and related realities then ask her if it's possible for her to take one of the trips a little later.

If life will be more complicated after the baby is born then find a way to let her take the trips now.  This means she presumably won't be taking any significant time off when your household expands right?  So maybe she's actually trying to be considerate in doing it this way.

I think that if you want to retain the nanny, in a job that is about to involve 4 (!) young children, it's in your best interests to try to say yes to the vacations she wants to take.  Perhaps it's an opportunity for you to line up and start involving some backup support beyond just the nanny.

I think the zika is a non-issue.  Unless one of you is having sex with the nanny it is highly unlikely she would transmit something even if she did get sick, and you will be VERY far along in your pregnancy in terms of the development of the baby.  So extraordinarily little risk there.

I really don't think your nanny is being unprofessional OP.  It might be good to be careful about your tone so you don't harm the relationship during any discussions you have around these requests.
