The same can be said for employers who don't tell their nanny upfront they won't be paid if the family takes a vacation. This was a mistake on both sides. [/quote]

+2. I've been nannying for 10+ years and have always been paid my weekly salary whether the family uses me or not. This is something that you always discuss during the interview process. OP, if you don't plan to pay your nanny, prepare for looking for a new nanny.[/quote]

Like another PP said, if you refused to pay me I would use that week to set up interviews with other families. You employ this nanny on a FT basis, and it is appalling to think you could all of a sudden take away a week's worth of pay from her! I am compensated well, responsible with my money, and that would STILL be an enormous burden for me. If she is available to work you ought to pay her - but by all means, ask her to get stuff done. Have her sanitize the toys, do some batch cooking, clean out the closet, do a deep clean of the nursery, whatever child-related tasks you need done (as well as bringing in the mail, watering the plants, etc.), but you are very likely to lose her as an employee if you don't.[/quote]
