[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, our nanny had to take unpaid leave in her first six months when she had back-to-back family illness (her dad had heart surgery) and then death (two of her grandparents died within a week of each other). We were a bit annoyed (she was out for basically 3 weeks in a 2 month period), if I'm being honest, in part because she was brand new and we didn't really have a baseline. Was she telling the total truth? Did she really have to go care for her dad for two weeks or were there other options? Would this keep happening, even if totally on the up-and-up? Well, she ended up staying with us for 4 years and we paid out unused vacation at the end. Really, truly just terrible luck and, obviously, as we got to know her and her family better, it was all completely true and random. In later years she expressed her appreciation that we didn't let her go in that first rocky period.[/quote]
