we've cover all travel, food (with us) and lodging expenses and pay her normal weekly rate (say $18/hr *40hours).  
She usually works close to the 40 hours, some day, some evening.
The food, plane ticket, and other costs get very expensive when bringing a nanny.  
I would NEVER pay the nanny extra on top of that.  I just wouldn't bring her[/quote]
What's the benefit to your nanny?
Unless it's some place exotic.[/quote]

yes, it's usually a beach or Disney or somewhere fun.  It's always her choice if she cares to join us, but if she does not, it will count as one (of her 2) paid vacation weeks[/quote]

If a penalty is attached, that makes it a fairly easy "choice", doesn't it. Don't go and then be unable to pay your bills that month, or go and work while your employers enjoy THEIR vacation. That's not a "benefit" to your nanny, that's just making her leave her home for a week to continue to do her job under more difficult circumstances.

The only people who "benefit" when nanny joins her employers on vacation are the employers.[/quote]

What?  I think that 2 weeks of paid vacation, one chosen by the nanny, and one chosen by the employer is pretty standard.  If the nanny chooses not to go with the family on vacation, then this counts as her paid vacation week chosen by her employers.  That sounds completely logical to me.

That's not what that means. When you negotiate for two weeks of vacation that means for both of you. Her going on your vacation is work.[/quote]
