[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Also how would vacations work? Our plan was to give her paid vacation for 13 days of our choosing (basically whenever we take our vacation) and also paid federal holidays and 7 days of paid sick leave.[/quote]

In all honesty, although you are offering a LOT of vacation/sick leave, I would combine it into a PTO package of 20 days for her to use as needed. Or, if you take my next bit of advice, offer 15 days PTO and federal holidays.

And unless you and the other family plan to coordinate YOUR vacations to ensure nanny actually has a week entirely off of work, nanny needs to be able to pick her own vacation times. In a single family + nanny situation, nanny can be asked to coordinate at least 1 week of PTO with the family's vacation plans, but what is likely to happen in your situation is that you take a week of vacation in May and in October, Family X takes a week of vacation in June and in December, and nanny works 52 weeks a year, with 4 of those weeks being "half-duty" weeks.

Instead, have a set share rate ($20 - $24) and a set "single family" rate ($15 - $18). When family X takes their vacation, you pay nanny her single family rate. When you take your vacation, family X pays nanny her single family rate. When nanny chooses to take HER vacation, she gets paid her "share rate".

And you can ask for 4 - 6 weeks notice for her vacations as well. [/quote]
