[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would shorten her vacation to two weeks[/b] - then take one week off and have DH take one week off. This is one of the reasons I hired an American nanny, OP. This always happens with foreign nannies. [/quote] But I've heard many times of situations where the nanny asks for a long vacation, the parents say they can only accommodate a shorter one, nanny agrees...then once she is over in the home country, a day or two before she is supposed to return, she contacts the parents and says she is actually going to stay longer....[/quote] This has happened to me twice. One nanny was from El Salvador, the other from Britain. They have different laws about holding jobs, and different customs. What seems outrageous to us seems perfectly reasonable to some people who haven't spent their lives here. It is definitely something I consider now when hiring.[/quote]
