Guaranteed 40 hours in contract, we’ll be going out of town for a week in June and always planned to pay nanny while gone even though kid will be with us.

Is it ok to ask her if she’s willing to house sit and watch the dog? (Ie let her out a couple times a day and feed am/pm, very chill senior doggie)

How much more would you pay on top of a week’s normal pay? $50 a day ok? That’s a little less than if we hired someone else to do drop in visits.

Edit: would be to stay at the house, come and go as she pleases - nbd if she declines since lots of rovers sitters around but the dog would prefer her lol

Mom to a 10 month old and our Nanny has been with us for 4 months, doing a great job.

I wanted to show some acknowledgement and appreciation that she is an important caretaker and influencer in my child’s life. I was thinking about giving her some flowers the Friday before Mother’s Day and some sort of note of appreciation. Does it that seem weird to tie it to Mother’s Day? Should I wait and just do it randomly or maybe at the 6 months anniversary?
