[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like you have a kind and generous heart and an enormous amount of empathy to boot. And I totally get that while you want to do everything you can in your power to make this as easy as possible for your nanny, realistically, it just is going to be a huge hit in your pocketbook. It's completely understandable.

Losing a parent, most esp. a mother is very difficult and I am assuming even more so for your nanny considering she wasn't even in the country when the death occurred. So I do not think asking for six weeks is unreasonable. Not just to grieve, but when family unexpectedly passes, there are so many loose ends to tie up. Trust me, I know first hand as I have lost both parents.

OP, just the fact that you are saving her job for those six weeks is an act of kindness + goodwill on your part. To pay her for those six weeks is not completely necessary or expected however. I would only pay her for two or three weeks if you can swing it, if not, at least one week for sure.

I am sure your nanny will understand the financial strain it will be on your family having to pay her full salary along w/another full-time salary as well as agency fees. I know I would if I were in her shoes.[/quote]
