[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone gets the full week off from work.  Christmas is ONE day.[/quote]

It’s a major holiday to spend with family. It would be considerate to give your nanny the day off and at least either the day before or day after off.  [/quote]

I do not understand this line of thinking. At most jobs, you get PTO and holidays. So you get the holiday off, and then if you want additional time off around the holiday, you use your PTO.

Only in nanny-land, is the idea present that you should get “Christmas week” and the day-after-Thanksgiving as paid days off, in addition to PTO. Great if you can negotiate it, but generally not the way the world works.[/quote]

Oh, please - stop.  You’re embarrassing yourself.  If the family decides to go away, the nanny is paid.  The other posters may well have nannies using their vacation or PTO.

I’m sure this is a shock in your world, but lots of parents actually want to spend time alone with their children when they are off work.

MB here.  And you always post the most inane crap.  [/quote]

Let parents have to work or take PTO.  If they give nanny leave, they are taking PTO, hiring someone else or relative.  We get two weeks off.  That is it.  [/quote]

Poor you.  Stop begrudging other parents who have more time off and give their nannies that time as well.

My company gives two full weeks off and DH’s closes from the 24th to the 2nd.  [/quote]

Then that makes sense but in the real world, most people have to work.  Christmas is a day, not a week.  Lucky you.[/quote]

In the real world most people cannot actually afford a nanny but, think they should have one anyway. Poor you. [/quote]

I'm not the PP, but isn't it on the nanny to leave a situation where she feels like she's not being treated well?[/quote]
