[quote=Anonymous]As our kids get older they have more incidentals. Snacks, trips to get ice cream with a friend, admission costs to things, parking for activities, etc.  Its normally in the $200 -$300 range, which we are fine with.  We have been giving our nanny cash each month but neither of us finds that ideal.  She doesn't like carrying cash and some places don't take cash.  I told her she could deposit the cash to her account and spend it using her card, but she wasn't in favor of that.  So would it be better to open a new credit card and make her an authorized user on the card or some type of separate checking account with a debit card?  I want the card in her name so she isn't questioned about using it and I don't want to add it to our regular credit card in case it is ever lost or stolen or there is some other type of issue.  Surely this is a problem other people have faced.  How have you addressed it?

Also our nanny is starting to do house manager type activities like grocery shopping, errands, taking the car for an oil change and it would be great for her to have an easy way to pay for all of this sort of stuff too.[/quote]
