[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you can find a temporary nanny, you have enough notice. I would start looking now and possibly have the temp nanny babysit for you a few time between now and then. Like any other job, if you use all your PTO, any other days off, are just unpaid- it doesn’t mean “you can’t take off because you used all your leave.” It’s good for families to have backup care for this reason especially.[/quote]

Most jobs do not allow you to simply take unpaid leave whenever you wish. (I would quickly be out of a job if I tried that!) Leave--paid or unpaid--must be approved. In this case, OP is not approving it, as is her right. (The nanny is, of course, free to seek another job with more flexible leave time.)[/quote]

So if you use all your PTO, you mean you can’t take off? I’m just asking? If you give enough notice, you can. If there is coverage, who cares?! It’s not like her nanny has been taking off every month for 2 and 3 weeks. And Op  stated, that her nanny, hasn’t been home in a couple of years- I couldn’t imagine because all my family are here, in the DMV area. The great thing about being your own boss, you make your own rules! If you can work it out, what’s the issue? The nanny has  basically given her employer a years notice!! Again, it goes back to find you a few  “backup” sitters or nannies, so you can have the option to take off or not, when your nanny is out. You can even offer a lower rate during those days.

If you use up all your PTO, of course you can't just take off. You have to wait until you have accrued more PTO. It doesn't matter how much notice you give (at least for most jobs). At any rate, in this case OP can't work it out and the nanny has been home very recently, so it's moot.[/quote]
