[quote=Anonymous]OP, standard is to let her pick at least half of the weeks.  It’s reasonable to ask her to give 1-3 months of notice, so that you can figure out your alternatives, but the same should apply to notifying her about any weeks you choose.

Limiting her to June-august or Christmas holidays isn’t reasonable.  Summer vacation and Christmas vacation are peak travel times, making everything more costly as well as having her deal with more people.  The only employers I know you actually CAN’T do any other weeks than the ones they specify are single-parent households going through a divorce, because they’re on a shoestring budget yet desperate to show the court that they have childcare figured out.  Everyone else manages to find an agency, relative, nanny’s friend or some other alternative.  I know a few families with young children who just take their vacation when the nanny wants to take hers: db covers her first week, mb covers her second week.  Then they have one week to take together.[/quote]
