[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the replies. I talked to her this morning and tried to come to a compromise. I offer to another eek unpaid and I will take my own vacation from work to. Cover. For her. But, I dont even have that much vacation and it is unreasonable to ask for that much time off with no notice. At first, she said she is still going and we can take the time while she is gone to find someone else. And, when I said if that is what you really want to do then that is your choice. And, I told her that I thought I was being more than reasonable. And, oh by the way good luck finding another job because no one else would give her that much time off either.

And, she thought about it and said that she was sorry. And, she does want this job.

I am still calling mommy relief. Thanks for recommendation. I need to find out there fees. I am scared she may not come back.[/quote]

Op, I'm the pp that mentioned the possibility of her taking the extended vacation with or without your approval and spoke about the different expectations of foreign nannies regarding vacation. I'm telling you now after seeing the exact same thing happen multiple times that you need to fire her. She will not come back on the agreed upon date and will most likely quit. You need to not pay her for the two weeks you originally agreed upon or make the payment contingent on her return at the agreed upon date. I would use the time she is away to find her replacement. This is a scheme for more vacation time and she planned it perfectly around your one year mark so that she can tell further employers you only needed her a year. Also, she is basically getting paid to quit because of the vacation pay you offer. If you accommodate her know she will do it again in the near future.[/quote]
