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 ....

I'd guess it depends on the market,what end of the market you're at, and what you're asking the nanny to do.
I know that the top of the line for nannies in the D.C. area is in the ballpark of $35K - $45K per year salary, plus some benefits (health care, etc.). That seems to involve a roughly 45-50 hour work week. A friend of mine in the business gets that plus, IIRC, two weks of paid vacation and ceratin holidays off.
That said, I know a couple who are paying just over $40K per year plus benefits, for a _live-in_ nanny. But that nanny works about 60 hours per week, and cares for twin toddlers, one of whom has significant medical needs.
