[quote=Anonymous]OP you've made your contract overly complicated and it is understandably difficult for any of you to follow it. My suggestion would be to scrap it and start again. Apologize for making things so complicated and figure out a SIMPLE arrangement that make you both happy. Set a schedule that will cover your needs. She guarantees that availability for you, you guarantee her weekly pay. Simple. Negotiate a single hourly rate that you are both comfortable with and that is appropriate for the entire scope of the job (perhaps the average of what she is making now) and stop worrying about tracking two kids vs. one. Make things simple. Then, when you or she takes vacation days or holidays, her paycheck remains unchanged. Simple. No one feels shorted or put out, which is the goal. You can work the numbers however you need to closely represent whatever your end goal was, but you owe your nanny some consistency with her paycheck, her schedule, and for her to not feel financially penalized when she takes time off. You also owe her clarity going forward of what she can expect. I hope you guys are able to work it out, but I honestly would never have agreed to such a ridiculous arrangement. [/quote]
