[quote=Anonymous]Our DC's nanny and I are from the same area on the West Coast (our hometowns are 10 miles apart) and I'm thinking of asking her to come with us when we go back home later this summer for one or two weeks.  I think she would be thrilled; she recently visited her family and I know that she cut the trip short because of her work obligations (i.e., us).  Here is the comp/expense reimbursement I am considering and would like feedback on:

* Paid plane ticket 
* Paid travel time to West Coast
* Return travel time paid ONLY IF DH does not fly back with us: DH would not fly with us to the W.C., but hopefully, join us for the back-end of the trip.  If he does, then DC would sit with me and DH so nanny would not have to take care of DC.  If DH ends up not being able to travel, then DC, nanny and I would sit together and nanny would be paid for her return trip.
* Room and board not paid for: Nanny would stay with her family and take meals with them.
* Commuting cost not paid for: Nanny's family live < 15 miles/30 minutes from us, which is considered a normal commute for the area.  Nanny drives family car.

Also, her typical work week is 25 hours/week, she'd probably end up working about the same number of hours (including the paid travel time) although on a slightly different schedule that may include one weekend day.

Thoughts?  Is there anything I haven't covered?  The only areas where I think I could be more generous would be paying for her return trip in the event DH flies with us and paying commute costs.  Honestly, I think she would be really happy with the above package nevertheless because she gets a paid trip home and will have plenty of free time to spend with her family and friends.  Just want to do a gut-check first, though.[/quote]
