[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]

I would then ask for the names of the friends and hire one of them.  I have no issue with two weeks leave, but not that early on depending on our leave, especially considering we will probably need a few days off for us or her getting sick (I prefer my nanny stay home when sick, especially if she got it from us).  I would not be ok with changing providers after a few months.  After a year or two, maybe.  After a few years, absolutely.  I just can't up and take off two weeks nor can my husband.  [/quote]
