[quote=Anonymous]Seems like OP asked what you have done to accommodate this, not whether or not you would.  My family has accommodated our wonderful nanny's extended trips a couple times.  It's not easy, but we have done it through a combination of our own (limited) time off work and bringing in grandparents for babysitting duties.  Luckily, both sets of grandparents are willing and able to do this - and in fact are overjoyed to have the time with the children.  I know of friends who have used backup day care through work and some who have used temp nannies.   I have also used one of our nanny's friends (also a nanny in her own right at various times) as "backup" care for our children and that's been great.  Your children are more resilient than you think, and a couple days - or a couple weeks - won't throw them off completely.  Also, when my nanny has returned from these trips, the children have run right back into her arms and didn't miss a beat.  No "readjustment" issues or anything.  [/quote]
