[quote=Anonymous]As a MB to a great American woman (who has worked with us for many years, and never taken more than 10 days off consecutively, usually only 5 at most), it always makes me cringe when I hear friends of mine with the exact same problem. I have two good friends who have hired nannies from central and South America. I think they are lovely young women, but every single year my friends come complaining to me about nanny taking a long trip; one of them even asked if my nanny could watch her children for five weeks while hers was in Brazil! A friend of a friend once had a nanny from South America who said she would be gone for two weeks, then called one week into her vacation to say that her Abuela was sick and she wanted to extend her trip for two more weeks, leaving her nanny family in a real bind.

I don't mean to discriminate, but if you hire a nanny from another country (not just central or South America), you have to expect they will want to take very long trips home.[/quote]
