[quote=Anonymous]I worked as a nanny for years. My first job involved driving one of kids carpools, but they were older. As part of the hiring process, the mom asked me to do a driving trial with her. Most families who have had elementary school age kids or older have wanted driving. I only did hour + drives for special occasions, such as when kids were going on day trips in summer.

Most families with infants or one year olds have not wanted driving. They want their kids to stay at home and play indoors in winter or near their home, at local playgrounds and such. Walks were always fair game with kids those ages. Even with families that have only had one two year old, most have required no or very minimal driving. It can be very hard to manage kids those ages in the car and to plan hour long trips around kids nap times.

If you do decide to allow nanny to drive, I agree with a PP who mentioned about installing car seats! It is very easy for them to be installed incorrectly, so make sure it is to your liking. Make sure you get a copy of her driving record to check for any points/violations. I personally wouldn't want my kids to go that far most days. I probably wouldn't agree to have them both driven under regular circumstances, but certainly not during COVID and not an hour each way. [/quote]
