[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find out when they take their vacation and change your plans [/quote]

Presumably OP has already put in a vacation request, and that's why the family made plans to cover that time. Our contract required 30 days' notice for vacation time, precisely so that we *could* make plans to either take the time off ourselves or make alternate childcare arrangements. If she then decides not to go on vacation after all, she's out of luck. [/quote]

Plans can change.  She changes and give you 30 days notice.  Nannies are employees not slaves.[/quote]

Sure, but that likely still means she has to take the time unpaid if I have already made arrangements to take time off or hire a temporary caregiver. So there's no gain there. Generally there is not a provision to rescind vacation requests (just as there is not for my job).

That said, if a legitimate issue came up (like the snowstorm with flight cancellations) I'd try to work with the nanny on it--either reschedule my own vacation if possible or offer to give time off unpaid for either her original or rescheduled vacation. [/quote]
