[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are responding to a MB not a nanny! All the nannies I interviewed wanted 2 week vacation, 5 days sick plus fed holidays.[/quote]

Wow. Where do you get your people? Some high end agency?

I've interviewed more than a dozen people in person and corresponded through about 50+ in the last 7 years or so. NO ONE has ever asked for that much vacation.

Either that or you are a nanny trying to pump up expectations on this board.

NP here, just interested in reading these responses. I was a nanny and worked through a respected but not necessarily high end agency. This was standard for us, although the two vacation weeks were a choice split between the family and the nanny (each picked one). (However, the nannies these family employ now (I've moved into another field but still babysit) do get two weeks of their choice.) I wonder if, as so often happens on this board, it comes down to a different type of nanny (foreign-raised, older, college-educated, just started out of HS, etc.) having a different set of expectations? There's no one overseeing nanny benefits and telling employers (and nannies) what they deserve based on their experience.[/quote]
