[quote=Anonymous]Even disregarding the cost, I don't like using temp nannies for a week of vacation (or however long the nanny is gone). Quality is hit or miss as I have almost no say in who the agency sends, and even the good ones won't be familiar with my kid's schedules, likely won't do much child-related clean-up, and my kid will be scared / upset to be left with a stranger. I'll use those services when I need to, like when our nanny is sick or has a personal emergency, but for long absences with advance notice, I'd much rather prefer a family member. That said, we try to give off our nanny as much time as we can and announce it as far in advance as possible so she can also make plans. We also pay out any unused vacation time at the end of the year, so that if she decides the amount and timing of our vacations is enough for her that year, she can take "vacation of nanny's choice" as extra pay instead.[/quote]
