[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another reason we always hire someone local. That person lives there year-round, and isn't trying to vacation with us. She's just there to make some money.

I have to pay my nanny her regular salary anyway. The local person is way cheaper than paying my nanny's room and board + travel, even if there's no overtime. I understand that people like having their regular nanny, but this woman was a temp anyway. [/quote]

I don't understsnd to why you even need a nanny on vacation.  Isn't the point of vacations to spend quality time as a family?  Your accessory children for your Christmas card photo.[/quote]

Because my kids are young and are asleep by 8. Then DH and I go out for a nice dinner. That's primarily when our nanny watches the kids. She also watches them until 10 am half the mornings so that DH and I can sleep in. Half of what we need vacation for is sleep;)[/quote]

Lazy and uncaring on your part.[/quote]

Huh? Why? The nighttime thing is a no brainer. We tell our kids the nanny is with them, because we wouldn't want them to be surprised if they wake up... But they don't. They reliably sleep through the night. So why does it matter who sits in an adjoining room while they do? As for the mornings, it usually amounts to a breakfast adventure with our nanny +/- a swim. They love it. Our nanny likes to travel with us and considers it a perk, since she's free everyday from 10-8 and doesn't do any overnight duty. We also make sure to give her one free evening if we're somewhere where she wants it.[/quote]
