[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny keeps informing us at inconvenient times that she needs to take a week or two off. Last year it was 2 weeks in January. This year it is a week in February. We told her last year she needed to take her vacations June-August or over December holidays. Our jobs do not allow us to just take a week or two off during peak times (Jan-May and Sept-Nov). Anyone else experienced this or have advice? If we move to new nanny do not want to end up in this situation again.[/quote]

The only thing we ever asked of our nanny was just give us enough notice if she’s going on vacation. If the agreement in your contract is 2 weeks paid vacation at the nannies choice it’s really not your call to tell when to take vacation. Next time you draw up a contract how about you make that clear that you’re given 2 weeks of vacation but prefer if they take it during the summer months. I mean I still don’t think that’s fair but at least the nanny will know what they are signing up for. We give our nanny unlimited sick leave , 2 weeks of paid vacation (her choice) plus an additional 5 weeks because my husband and I like to travel and go on vacation plus she’s a mom and we think it’s important for her to be with her kid. Maybe if you’re offering other breaks a nanny might not feel so thrown off being told when and how to travel.[/quote]
