[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to wait three months for my one-week vacation to become available to me. PTO was available on an accrued basis until 3mo as well, then it all became available.[/quote]

This seems reasonable.   Making them accrue every day before they take it doesn't seem fair, unless you allow the nanny to roll over a substantial amount of unused days.  Otherwise, the nanny could never take a substantial vacation until the end of the year.[/quote]

OP here. 3 or 6 months is reasonable. I just don't want my nanny to go on vacation after 2 weeks...

BTW, do your nannies use sick days as personal days? Our nanny does it and it's a little bit weird. I have an impression she will use all her sick days soon and I wonder what's gonna happen when she is really sick..[/quote]

I am on the fence about this issue. On the one hand she is risking causing you a major inconvenience if she needs more time. On the other hand, mental health is important. Not because you nanny is mentally ill (assuming) but because work stress can and does drain the body. Childcare can be a burn out profession if people don't take down time once in a while.[/quote]
