[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is guaranteed pay a must for nannies?
We will need nanny for 40 hours a week, however one parent is a teacher and therefore there is Thanksgiving break, Christmas break and Winter break.
Do we pay nanny whilst she's not be working?
Also, what do teachers who are parents do during the summer break with their nanny?
We have a  6 month old and intend to have another kids in about a year or so.

When I employ someone, I consider myself their permanent, full-time employer regardless of my personal situation.  Otherwise how can I possibly expect they remain available to me?

I'll give you a couple of examples.   We have a live-in, full time nanny.

Last week we went off for five days to enjoy some time together during the school break.  She stayed home.  Fully paid.

She is going to go to her home country for four weeks over Christmas.  Fully paid.

Next week I will be home for three days. The nanny will continue working, and I will use this time to run errands and just relax.

If it was an occasional babysitter or house cleaner or whatever vendor, that's different, because you need them only ad-hoc.  But someone who relies on you for their livelihood has the right to expect some stability. [/quote]
