[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, as a lot of people here have alluded to, work out an accrual system for vacation and sick days. Anything she takes before the time is accrued is unpaid. I learned this lesson the hard way also, when a nanny quit early in her second year after taking all of her leave. I then had to cover more leave for our new nanny, but since that accrued, I didn't have to worry about covering more than a year's worth if we parted ways.[/quote]

Nanny here. I have an accrual system, but I don't have to wait to take my vacation. If I left early, my last check would have the days I used above the accrued days taken out. I would not wait a year before taking my vacation, or have one lone day that has accrued, which likely has to be used prior to the end of our contract year. This has worked out well for us. You do run the risk of a nanny leaving without any notice, but if she has a professional history you will be very unlikely to run into that situation, not if it is a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship.
