Looking for advice ... we have the usual deal with our nanny that she chooses two weeks and we choose two weeks, but somehow she ends up with 6-8 weeks! We have children, so unsurprisingly we take a couple of weeks in the summer and a week or so at Christmas. We may then take another two or three weeks during the year. Our nanny seems to wait until we have booked our holidays until she decides on hers, so if we?ve booked three or four weeks off during the year she?ll choose an additional two so that she ends up with six weeks - or even more. Over Christmas she suggested that even though she?d booked a two week holiday, she thought that as we would be ?off anyway? she could choose a further couple of weeks (which would have taken her leave to 8 weeks in ten months). I don?t want to be ?that employer? but I do feel slightly taken advantage of. Do other people put in requirements that they need a lot of notice for nanny holiday dates (I?ve currently asked for four weeks? notice) and do you require the holidays to be in one week blocks? Or am I just being a bit unreasonable and I should suck it up?
