Thanks!

Guaranteed hours, pro-rated sick/vacation leave, and some number of holidays off are all reasonable, as is being paid legally of course.
27 hours is somewhere between half and 2/3s of a fulltime position (usually they are around 40-50 hours per week) so I think you could ask for 5 vacation days and 2 or 3 sick days. I'd also look at when your typical work days fall and see how many federal holidays occur on those days. For instance, if you normally work Mondays that a day with a lot of federal holidays - so you might want to request a couple of those as part holidays as part of your overall compensation.
In return for them making those commitments you can/will protect the standing times they are guaranteeing, and you can (if appropriate) offer to work occasional extra hours at an agreed upon rate, on a flexible basis.
If a standing part-time commitment like that works for you then you're probably a terrific fit for the family and hopefully they will want to make it worth your while to stay with them. Good luck!
Thank you very much!

OP here! Thanks for your response! How many sick days and vacation time I should ask for? I was thinking 3 sick days, 2 weeks of vacation (6 days in this case) + guaranteed hours. Is this reasonable?

Greetings,
I have been working for a family for 2 months and ½. My charge is currently 7 months. My position is part time – 3 times a week, 27 hours total. It was supposed to end at the end of this month; but my employers changed their minds – They want to keep me for at least 4 years. They are planning to have another baby later in life. They are a great family; the problem is, I have never worked as a long term and part-time nanny. Some of the benefits that I had in the past as a full-time nanny included: 2 weeks vacation, 5 sick days, guaranteed hours (I was salaried) and most all federal holidays paid
Because my current position was supposed to last 2 - 3 months, I have asked to get paid cash. However, if we transition to a long-term position (and probably a full-time position, when the second baby will be here), I want to be paid on the books and get some benefits. What are some of the benefits that I can ask as a part-time nanny (I am trying to be fair)?
