No. Adult employees are responsible for their own work transportation

+1 and you don’t have to order her an uber, just tell her the extra $20 is for her uber.

You pay her enough that she can handle her own transportation. You only drive her if she is a child you are exploiting for low wages.

We have a new college-age sitter and I was torn between letting her take care of it herself and invading her privacy by plugging her address into my phone (although I assume she lives in dorms). Trip was at 11pm on Saturday night.

What say ye, DCUM?

You can pay for her Uber if you want, without ordering the Uber on your account. She can show you the receipt.
