Paying nanny if taking her on family holiday

[Mothersruin75]

We're planning on going to Disney World and taking our nanny, we're not sure how to pay her for extra hours, what to do for time off etc? What have others done for holidays?

We'll pay her normal wages, as well as the flights, accommodation, all food & park tickets, we just want to make sure we're not short changing her and want her to enjoy it too. It would span one or two weekends.

We could ask her but she is so lovely, I know she would just say she'd do the extras for normal pay but that's not fair. I would like to have a proposal of how we'll do the extras/ time off whilst we're there before we chat but we haven't got a clue on what is reasonable.

Thanks for any advice.

We took our nanny to Disneyland and she roughly worked her normal hours. We were were out late in the park I gave time off in lieu on our non-park days and it all balanced out in the end. But if there is not going to be an opportunity for her to take time off then I would pay the usual hourly rate agreed in her contract.

I'd add £10/£20 extra a day and £75 for each of the weekends-means it on't be a huge amount for her to feel uncomfortable about and hopefully affordable for you, I do work in Central London so that could well be over the top :P).

I'm so glad to see someone looking to pay extra for this, I've only ever dealt with people who expect you to be grateful for being away from your life/friends/family for two weeks on someone else's holiday. :p

What a lovely employer you are! I'm sure your nanny would be so happy that you're taking all this into consideration for her. You seem like you do have a really good relationship so maybe have a little chat with her and ask her to be 'totally honest' about pay for the holiday or other suggestions such as certain amount of time off during the day/evening so she can explore or she may want to spend that time with you all as a family.
TBH I'm sure she'll be grateful just for the working/holiday experience itself and really might not want to be paid extra as you're already spending for her ticket and expenses etc.
Hope you come to a mutual agreement either way
