[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is great you are going but it would be a deal breaker for me.  We hire a nanny to do child care and we cannot afford to miss two weeks off of work, especially when they started (and especially if you want part paid).  It would not be a reasonable option for us.  Please disclose up front as I would not want to waste your time interviewing when we couldn't make that work.

Have a great trip.[/quote]

What if she wanted it unpaid and could provide a few nanny friends you could interview (and liked) who'd be available to cover her trip? [/quote]

Not PP but this wouldn't work for us either.  If she could provide available backup I might consider the option but am honestly unlikely to because before I'd leave my kids with a new nanny, I'd a) conduct a background and reference check - not sure
I'd want to go through the time and expense of that for two weeks, b) work at home for the first week while DC got comfortable, and not sure I'd have the flexibility to do that at that point - especially not knowing if the full time nanny is going to work out and if I might have to do it again soon with a new full time hire, and c) having been burned on this front before, I'm not sure I'd trust that a nanny who says she's available for two weeks in February actually would be by May since something full time might come along for her.  Wish I didn't have to be mistrusting on that, but like I said, I've been burned before.  [/quote]
