[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there is going to be a lot of variation among nanny jobs because families need different things in childcare. Conversely, you can also negotiate for whatever is important to you. 10 days is "standard" (5 of parents choice, 5 of nanny's, maybe with a few extra sick days). But many many jobs will be structured differently. I give my nanny 10 days of my choice + 10 days of her choice (sick/vacation/personal/whatever) which might be on the generous side for vacation time, but she also works up to 12 hour days which I know some people would consider a deal breaker. Some parents are able to swing more PTO because they have flexible jobs or better back up care, some can't.[/quote]

Did you see that she already has one day a week off? Most people get 10 because they work a five-day week. If the same number of hours is distributed over 4 days, why would someone get two extra paid days added to their time off? That would be like most nannies getting 12 days.[/quote]

I did see that, and I'm not commenting on whether her amount of vacation is the "right" amount. But I should have specified my 10 days comment does assume a 5-day workweek. To be more precise, may be better to talk in terms of hours of PTO. My nanny gets a guaranteed 50 hours a week, so she gets 100 hours of my choice + 100 hours of her choice and we count 10 hours/PTO day. If she did, say, 40 hours Mon-Thu as a normal schedule, I would give her 80+80 instead and still count 10 hours/PTO day. That would still be 4 weeks since she wouldn't normally be expected to come in on a Friday (and would not need to use PTO to cover being off).[/quote]
