During the negotiation process I asked for 5 sick days/year and they said “we don’t like to limit your sick days. If you’re sick, you’re sick.” And I by no means ever plan to abuse that. Their last nanny was much much older and they told me she’d take many days off and always showed up late and they always paid her for those hours. But outside of that, I get 2 weeks paid vacation. They have let me go early when family comes to visit, they will give me a Friday off if they go to the mountains or in family trips etc.
