[quote=Anonymous]PP gave you lots of good advice.

Our nanny travels with us routinely. We pay her regular rate plus overtime if we go out to dinner/ask her to work an extra day, etc. As others have said, it is important to know how much you will be working. 10-12 days of straight working is really long. You probably should ask to have one day off in the middle particularly if you working in the evenings while the family goes out to dinner.

Hawaii is great, and it would be nice if you had a day to explore on your own.  I'd recommend asking about your schedule also so that you can schedule a tour in advance or whatever you might want to do.

Also, Hawaii is expensive. Are they going to pay for your meals during your off time (if there is any).  It's hard to ask...I look at it this way...when I travel for work, I get a per diem amount for food.  If our nanny isn't with us, then I give her a "per diem" to cover food.

Lastly, re the airplane. Honestly, one of the best parts of our trip is having our nanny with us on the plane.  Hawaii is a long way away, and I know that I would want our nanny to play with our kids for part of the time so that I could read/work/sleep.  If you don't fly well, make that clear up front.

Enjoy!
