[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  We agreed with our nanny upfront on an outside agency to determine what is a snow day and what isnt (we use the agency where we work, but doesn't have to be that.)
Then if it's a snowday for them, it's a snow day for her and it's paid.  Otherwise, she has to come to work.  She has complained at least once when schools were closed and the agency we use was open, but she came it all worked out.

The real lesson is that this is one of the many things that it's helpful to spell out 100% clearly in your contract.  And what you want depends on what your career needs are.  For example, if you get lots of snow days (teacher) you might be more flexible.  If you are an ER doc and have to go in no matter what, you probably wouldn't be and then you need to pay enough to ensure nanny can say, own a four wheel drive.

If you haven't done that you should agree on a policy with your nanny that you both think is fair and works for you.  Ignore the people here reflexively whining one way or the other - the only people who care if it's fair at the end of the day are your family and your nanny.
