[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You also want to guarantee her hours.  That means if you take vacation, she can come in and do a few things (collect mail, make sure kid laundry is done, switch seasonal clothes, reorganize playroom), but she gets paid for all hours, regardless of how long the tasks take.  Depending on the situation, she may even shop for you.[/quote]

You will never keep a good nanny doing this!![/quote]

Why, PP?  Do "good" nannies expect to be paid to do [i]nothing[/i] when the family is away, even if they already have taken their agreed upon vacation time?  That seems a little lazy, doesn't it?   Especially knowing that the tasks while the family is away usually don't take full days.[/quote]

Nothing lazy about it - good nannies are being paid for their availability.  It was not the nanny's decision when you went on vacation.  Her job is to care for the children and you took the children away.  
Again, I am not going to argue.  Ask you nanny to come in and do chores for you while you are away and see how long you keep her.  [/quote]
