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 & still need help.
