[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once worked for a family who didn’t authorize me to drive anywhere.

So we ended up walking to the same park every single day.

Even my charge told me that he wanted to go somewhere else.
I felt the same way!!

But they just didn’t feel comfortable w/another person besides them driving their child.

That park got old and I was bored....then later became resentful.
Then Covid-19 occurred and I am so relieved that I no longer have to see that playground anymore!!

Parents:
Do you really want a bored Nanny working for you?
If not - let them drive so your child isn’t attending the same playground 5x a week![/quote]

It’s not about the nanny being bored!!! It’s all got to be about the child.  [/quote]

It is about the nanny, in some ways.

If you’re a family who doesn’t want your child driven ever, you need to state that during the interview.  Find a nanny who is a homebody, or if your area is walkable, find a nanny who doesn’t drive who will walk everywhere.

My typical shift is 10-16 hours.  I’m not cut out for staying at home with a nonverbal child all day everyday.  I teach children about the world, different cultures, expose them to multiple languages.  But I can only do that if I drive them around.  Find the person to fit your position, don’t try to force a nanny to fit a position when you weren’t clear during the interview.[/quote]
