[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah that must suck to get to travel around and not have to pay for the ticket/room and board/meals.

How awful[/quote]

Actually it does suck.  Being with a toddler day and night is not conducive to sight-seeing or relaxing.  I am working harder than I do at home and it is NOT my vacation - it is my employers.  She is out of her element and routine.  Last month when we were in London, she insisted on sleeping in bed with me - which meant that I had to go to bed at her bedtime so she wouldn't fall out of bed.  Then, because she was scared of the shadows in the room, she had to sleep on top of me every time she woke up.  When we were in Costa Rica in March, the baby got a raging ear infection.

It is not fun.  Trust me.   [/quote]

As a mom, this is so sad to me. I'm the first name my boys call out when scared. Im the person they come to when they think monsters are in their room and Id never dream of bringing our nanny on vacation because i look forward to being alone and connecting with my family.  To me that's thr actual POINT of travel.[/quote]

Without a nanny, the time away is a trip and not a vacation.  With a nanny, DH and I get a true vacation (sleeping late, going out at night - couple time) while spending the time with our DD.  DD is so comfortable and secure with nanny, that she would be comforted by nanny holding her if she woke up.  Chasing monsters out of her room is my job every night we are home - nanny handles it when we are on vacation.  [/quote]

Curious--how much do you pay her for the night hours?  Is it a flat fee or an hourly rate or what?  [/quote]

Nanny gets a Travel Day flat rate.  $400 a day.  [/quote]
