[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, the nannies on this board are not typical of nannies in the real world, and this issue is not as black and white as they want you to think. You are hearing from a handful of crazies who act as though they speak for the entire trade.

Give your nanny lots of notice of your weeks away so she can pursue other work or plan a vacation of her own. And you should absolutely ask her how she would feel about making up some of the time. Depending on what other committments she has, she may be comfortable with this. If not, you can be conservative with her bonus and with future raises. Yes, raises and bonuses are meant to show appreciation, and presumably you are happy with her work. But raises and bonuses should also be determined in relationship to how much work the job entails relative to her basic/current compensation, and all those extra vacation weeks are relevant.

Obviously, when you renew her contract, you'll want to renegotiate how you handle this situation in the future and then factor that into her compensation package.[/quote]

I agree with this. This isn't one or two days, its two extra weeks of vacation time which is sizable extra compensation. I would be less inclined to do a big raise or bonus on top of giving the nanny an extra two weeks of PTO. [/quote]
