[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she has worked for you a significant amount of time, say more than eight mos. and if she is a great Nanny to boot then perhaps you can offer to pay her for a few days.

However no one would expect you to pay her an entire workweek along w/paying for a backup Nanny as well.

I think what is most important for your Nanny is for you to keep her job open for her so when she is able to return - that she still has her job to come home to. :)[/quote]

Hi OP here, she is actually really good we have no complaints. This would be her first time requesting any significant time off other than us actually giving her time off. I have a hard time processing things like that (paying when you're not at work etc). She's been with us for almost a year and though she didn't ask to still be paid I don't know how to handle Friday (pay day) when I only pay for this week. I think when parents ask questions much like mine it's immediately assumed she's a horrible nanny, she's not in all honesty. She will obviously still have her job I just can't wrap my head around paying for a week of abscense in this economy.[/quote]
If she’s a solid person with good ethics, she’ll somehow make it up to you. I would. Good nannies are hard to find.[/quote]
