[quote=Anonymous]I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment here. If this were clearly some very extraordinary circumstance (eg terminal illness of a close family member) and she both communicated the reason to you and made it clear it was a one-time occurrence, going out of your way as you suggest may be a worthwhile solution to keep a great nanny. However, everything in your description seems to indicate that your generosity thus far has been interpreted as a larger degree of flexibility and more PTO than is actually the case. If you offer to fly in her family and put them up in a hotel for 3 weeks, she will view that as the norm and a standard benefit going forward and you will run into this issue again next year.

Not to mention, she may be going back mainly to see her immediate family but will also want to spend time with cousins, aunts, uncles, childhood friends... your offer will seem like a mediocre compromise that only gets her 25% of what she actually wanted.[/quote]
