nanny question re pay for sick days/vacation

racampbell1

How do you handle sick days/vacation plans with a nanny?  The daycare we were going to use has us pay per week regardless of whether our child is present or not with a 50% vacation credit after six months.  Do the same rules apply to a nanny?  TIA.

I believe this can be included in your contract. You can offer like 1 week vacation paid and 4 sick days paid, etc. I would offer it since I work and like to have a few sick days and also a paid vacation.

We gave our nanny 10 vacation days (5 of our choosing and 5 hers.)  She gets 3 sick days and the same holidays that we get.  If we take any additional days off, we pay her.  If she exceeds her allotment, then those days are unpaid.

We do this. Exactly.

This is very common from what I gathered.
