[quote=Anonymous]In this situation, don't shoot yourself in the foot by giving her an advance on her earned leave.  For that first vacation, pay out only what she has earned.  Then find someone who won't ask for 3-4 weeks off every six months.  I don't care if it hasn't happened before, it's just not compatible with consistent child care for this year.  Why should/would you accommodate that?  Listen to the poster who said she'll call you at the end of the time you agree to and claim she's had a family emergency and needs to extend.

Don't panic or have a big confrontation with the nanny...use that time in April to find a permanent replacement and send her on her way. Unless you work from home and absolutely adore this nanny, I would not entertain the notion of temp care.  And most of us either have parents who are still working themselves, in early retirement and traveling themselves, or elderly and not up to the rigors of full-time child care. So it's not always possible to call on grandparents either.

Note to nannies: Careful about claiming it's so easy for temps to take your place.  If so, maybe you aren't worth so much after all. [/quote]
