[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A MB here - if you had a seat in a daycare you would pay for it even if you were on vacation. I vote you pay her. It is hard to keep a PT nanny, most will take the PT job as they look for more hours. Anything you can do to keep her if you are happy with her you should do. Don't give her a reason to look around.[/quote]
Daycare and nannies are totally different arrangements. [/quote]

Yes they are, but the point is you reserved someone's time for a service when you hired a nanny. It is completely unreasonable to expect to maintain the reservation of someone's time without compensation. That is why OP is getting jumped on. If she were actually considerate and decent the answer to this question would be a no brainer. [b]The fact that OP has to ask says she doesn't respect the time commitment she has reserved and she deserves all the outrage she is getting here.[/b] Too many parents don't respect their nannies, and that's why we see so many of these nonsense questions.

It is not that everyone is outraged about my question. It's that you specifically are and you keep posting over and over again jumping all over me. Tell me what other job you've ever had that you worked at part-time (specifically less than 20 hours/week) and had 2 weeks PAID vacation plus paid holidays? Tell me one job. I work in corporate America and don't even get that so have no idea why you are so outraged. I am completely willing to pay my nanny her full amount but am just trying to have jobs for her to do while I'm away or have her do extra hours and then she can take the week off. It's up to her.  You have obviously been mistreated by past employers and are taking your anger out on me. [/quote]
