[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We told our nanny to pls take summer vacation one of the July or August weeks we are away. She agreed and added one extra travel day.

Now today, said nanny is texting us that she wants a different [b]adjacent[/b] week. She is citing a new free evening class at MoCo Community College during our trip that she wants to do and thus take off once it's done. That may or may not be true.

I feel this is highly unprofessional in childcare to every 4 weeks change what week you are gone. Our kids need different camps to sign up for, or pay a babysitter as well or fly in grandparents, etc. It's a big headache to redo the childcare arrangement and the fear it will change again.

I may have to do this unpaid if she wants a third week off this summer.[/quote]

When you say adjacent, do you mean she wants 2 vacation weeks? Or did you mean  that she wants to take her vacation after you take yours? [/quote]

It sounds like OP will be gone for a week in July and a week in August and asked the nanny to take vacation during one of these two weeks. Nanny instead wants to take an adjacent week following one or the other of those vacation weeks--is that correct, OP? FWIW that is usually how our nanny took vacation--she would ask when we planned to be away and then plan to take the following week so that she'd have enough time off to travel somewhere. However, we gave two weeks of her choosing, so she was free to do that.[/quote]
