Nanny benefits Q

Is it customary to pay her for a certain number of sick-days a year? If so, how many? Is paid vacation even heard of? (Is $12 per hour exhorbinant for a CPR trained nanny with experience?)
I'm really OK with giving her 2 weeks paid vacation and 2 weeks worth of sick days per year (maybe only because I don't want to be a nasty, rich cheapskate extorting the labor of the lower classes, or whatever) but she already makes more than my husband brings home after taxes, so ....
