[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This should have been explicitly covered in your contract.  Many families have it so the nanny chooses one week of vacation and the family gets to choose the other.   So say you, as the employer, choose February, and nanny chooses a week in April;  if you decide to go away again in August, yes you still pay the nanny her full wages.   And no, you can't require her to "make up" the hours at another time. [/quote]

If you’re in this area, guaranteed hours are also expected.  Your contract should read that the nanny gets paid whether you need her or not, and that unless you state (in the contract) that your travel is her vacation, those weeks are separate.

I’m another nanny that hardly ever takes my weeks separately, because my employers travel so much, which means tons of vacation for me.  If I travel with them, it’s still work, but I’m compensated more than normal.  And I always make sure I have one week written into the contract as my choice, even if I choose not to take it, that way I can make sure I don’t burn out.[/quote]
