 for providing paid sick...

 As it turned out, our nanny, who we employ 3 days/week,
 said she felt 9 sick days + a week for vacation is
 fair. She is also paid $22/hr, which i realize is more
 than most people pay, even those with twins. We only
 have the twins btw, no other kids. I really worked on
 this issues, discussed it with my partner & other
 parents I know, and I consulted the web for info. My
 research seemed to indicate that for a full time nanny,
 2 weeks for vacation + a "reasonable" number" of sick
 days is the norm. So we finally settled on 12 paid
 days off, all told -- that includes sick days &
 vacation. This amounts to 4 full weeks of paid time
 off, for our nanny. She is excellent with out children
 & we like her a lot, but she has something of a poker
 face, so I'm not 100% sure how she felt about this
 offer, given she wanted 14 paid days off. But this
 seemed fairly generous overall, in our opinions. And
 we will of course pay her for the days we cancel, like
 when we are out of town. I'd love feedback on our
 decision, if anyone has any. Thanks for all the info &
 advice provided!!

 Oh, I meant to add that we also will pay for major
 holidays, namely christmas, new years, thanksgiving,
 etc. Both my job & my partner's do not include
 benefits, so the other holidays, like President's Day &
 what not, we still have to work
