[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here,

My nanny does send money to her family back home.  How much I don't know.  Not my business.  She lives in a 2 bedroom condo and has 1 roommate in a very nice area.

I was talking with DH about the vacation situation.  We really do value her as an employee hope she is with us until the youngest starts school.  That is 4 more years.  The time frame she wants to go away will not work for us at all.  We are going to have to dig our heels in on that one.

I was thinking of suggesting she invite her parents and 2 siblings to the US for Christmas.  I know her parents came about 5 years ago so getting a visa should not be an issue.

I looked at flights for that time of year and they run about $1100/pp.  My husband travels a great deal.  He has so many points its crazy.  Now we are not going to pay the entire cost of her family coming to visit but helping out.

In lieu of a Christmas bonus I was thinking we could use some of DH's points to get 2 plane tickets.  If we parted ways we could cancel the flights.  That could be a built in protection.  DH said as long as the flight was canceled more than 72 hours you could get your points back.  DH also suggested we use his points to cover the hotel portion.  It can be a win win for all of us.  Crazy idea?

I would not do this.  It might mean a trip to Europe for your entire family someday.  You don't owe the nanny's family a trip here; and how would she mind your kids during that time anyway?
