[quote=Anonymous]MB here and I don't think guaranteed hours and federal holidays are the same thing.

We have always offered paid federal holidays.  It's a nice perk and DH is federal so it was doable for us.  That said I don't get a lot of those off so consider whether you can handle paying your nanny for, say, Columbus Day and having to use your own PTO if needed.

We also did guaranteed hours but this was not so much "you know every single year that you'll be off on Veterans' Day" but more "I got to leave work 3 hours early, take a paid afternoon off" or "Grandma has decided to come next weekend, you can take Monday off with pay." Also a nice perk.

TBH I think both are relatively standard around here but the former allows your nanny to make solid plans for long weekends and such while the latter likely won't.

Snow days--I have to work regardless so unless it was truly awful out/impassable roads our nanny worked.  I think we had maybe 2-3 days in 5 years of having a nanny and in those cases, we did pay, but we could not have afforded to have a nanny who couldn't come in when a few inches of snow had fallen.[/quote]
