Paying the nanny extra?

Hypothetical situation here:
If you and your DH were going away for a week leaving the(4)kids with the nanny for the week and she offered to take them away so they would not be hanging around the house over half term, would you give her anything extra in financial compensation? She would not have any time off at all over the week.
Thanks

Thanks for the offer athena but will stick it out for a bit then head back to Australia I think. Have been doing lots of soul searching of late and there is nothing to keep me here in the UK so will head home. I am going to talk to my bosses as well about the money. Thank you all for your advice. Sometimes you just need someone to give you shove in the right direction.

And don't fall for the cop out about the kids being asleep and you being asleep too. the fact is, you have complete responsibilty - fire, etc in the night, and you should be paid handsomely for that responsibility.
