[quote=Anonymous]I would just pay the day. I agree with 20:15, if she is great with the kids and this is not a huge burden, just don't let it be an issue. Our nanny started with us in the fall and then announced that she wanted a week off at the holidays to travel to family. Our work agreement clearly stated she had to accrue vacation before taking, and I was slammed at work and had a zero percent chance of getting off to cover (DH too). But I just wasn't trying to get bogged down in the concept of accrual and the math of how many days she actually had, in the face of Christmas and her elderly and ailing parents. It just wasn't worth it. Since then, she's been completely reliable and totally fantastic. This was not a harbinger of things to come. So I'd suggest paying the day and waiting to see if these kinds of issues recur. For add'l context, I would say I think your rate is fair but not overly generous, based on what I do and what I know some of my friends do. [/quote]
