Answer 2

Most nannies get paid holidays for the same ones that you get. For example, I (as a nanny) recieve New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. For the ones that aren't a set day of the week (ie: Christmas) I get whatever day my employers get off for the holiday. For example: in 2006 I had December 25 and 26 off for Christmas. If you are in a profession that does not give you holiday's off I would expect that you can give your nanny at a minimum: 4th of July, Christmas, New Year, and Thanksgiving. It's all about what you contract with your nanny.

Answer 3

Nanny Holiday Pay

Answer 4

I would have to say that the standard holidays (christmas, thanksgiving, labor day, memorial day) should be paid time off. You should also offer your nanny a paid vacation for a week after one year of employment. And I would agree with the person above that said if you get a paid day off, so should your nanny. Nannies are all too often underpaid and underappreciated. It makes no difference what state you live in. If you appreciate and value your nanny, show her. I am sure it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 5

Whatever holidays you get off paid. Your nanny needs to be able to plan & budget sames as you or you'll be going through many nannies. Being a nanny is an occupation and should be treated as such. And if you have a nanny you trust & are happy with, hang on to her by offering her the same benefits you would expect to be given.

Answer 6

Our day care worker gets just about the same days off I do. Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, Memorial day, 4th of July, Labor day.

Plus maybe a personal day or two, with proper notice ect.
And at least 1 week paid vacation.

Rule of thumb, if you get paid vacation for a major holiday, they should too.
(short of if you are a government worker and you get all those little days off, I would expect the daycare to still be open then ie Presidents day ect)

Answer 7

Since you asked her to take the day off, you should pay her especially if it was last minute notice. She is budgeting her finances based on working 4 days a week for you. She may have two weeks off a year, but she should be able to choose which days those are. Also things like this should be discussed in your nanny agreement upfront so there is no tension when the situation occurs. Her working for the other family that day doesnt really let you "off the hook" ya know?

Answer 8

Conquering New York in a single visit is impossible since is a big city like you'll find with Hotelbye . In New York you can see the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and significantly more. Empire State Building causes it to be worth braving the long lines, high ticket prices and dizzying levels to see the city from a high this storied building. Built in 1931, the skyscraper is the second-tallest making in New York and is one of the very most immediate representations of Gotham, so significantly to ensure that it's performed a role in shows such as King Kong, An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle.

Answer 9

i would say any day that the employer is getting off work paid.

so, if you get off for thanksgiving as a paid holiday, then the nanny should. same for christmas, new year's, labor day, martin luther king jr. day, memorial day, july 4th....

really, that's something that can be decided between you and your nanny.
keep in mind that sure, this is his/her job, however, it is also their life too. so, be good to your nanny and he/she will be good to you and your family.

take care.

Answer 10

I am not a nanny..........but a baby sitter. My rule is if my employer gets paid for their day off then I do too.
