[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never understood how people hire nannies who did not drive. We live just outside DC metro - walkable parks and activities in the neighborhood and still I would only hire a nanny with their own transportation. But I know that most families around us don't ask for that as a qualification which astounds me. When it's too cold/hot to be outside OP - what does your nanny do with the kids??[/quote] Not OP but we live in Arlington. Within a 15-minute walk of our home there are 4-5 different playgrounds, friends' houses, a public library, a small grocery store, casual restaurants, an ice cream place, pharmacy, post office, variety/hardware store, the pool we belong to, and several bus lines. The metro is walking distance too but more like a 20 minute walk. A nanny who doesn't drive would be fine for us, at least until we start preschool. There are 2 preschools walkable but I'm not sure if we will use one of those. This is DC URBAN mom, don't be surprised that not everyone is car dependent![/quote]
