And then if it becomes a pattern or is excessive, they are written up and disciplined for leave abuse. Good employees know when they need a day off and they schedule it in advance using their vacation time. [/quote]

I get 5 vacation days a year that I get to pick.

Do you really think I'm going to save them up for when I need a mental health day? No. I'm going to take a full week off and go somewhere sunny.

Now, OP offers two weeks at the nanny's discretion, so that's a different scenario, but come on. Most of the people you're talking about have more time off and more flexibility with it than most nannies do.[/quote]

Actually, no.  Nannies with guaranteed hours routinely get four or more paid weeks off per year.  Federal employees, even attorneys with years of experience, start at two weeks per year.  The same is true in a lot of corporate jobs.  Even the flexibility as to when leave may be taken is somewhat illusory.  When work is busy and deadlines are imminent, everyone could use a break but the ability to take time off is limited.
