[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny question: I am pregnant and have three young children. My nanny has just asked me to take two vacations - 10 days off when I am 6.5 months pregnant, and another 10 days when I am 8 months pregnant. Do I have to give her these days off, regardless of the impact? I never specified in her contract when she should take days off, so my gut feeling is yes, but with a regular job you wouldn't take time off right before a product launch, for example, as it would look unprofessional. One vacation is to a country rampant with Zika. Thoughts?[/quote]

No. Nannies put in a vacation request and work with their employers for a mutually agreeable week.  Third trimester, back to school, newborn trim frames all are a No.

Btw, 20 days of paid time off is not reliable childcare.  That would not fly with us and our demanding jobs. I don't need strong babysitters in my house subbing for weld and weeks. Explaining the house, the schedule, getting young children used to them = PITA.[/quote]
