[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I didn’t know uber was over ages 18 and over. I am going to look into additional sitters.[/quote]

Because if there wasn’t such a rule, you’d use Uber and Lyft?

Are you THAT stupid?

I’m from ny. I took cabs, buses and trains since I was 12.[/quote]

Sure. It is rare for cab drivers to hurt someone.  They pay a LOT of money to buy their cab, they have to keep their license, they have to pass a criminal background check.  Lyft and Uber drivers are not vetted the same way AT ALL.  It is a gig type thing with people who are easy come/easy go.

I know that in my area, there is a cab company that has a contract for a special needs school for emotionally disturbed kids. The kids can't take a bus there because they can't be unsupervised like that. Each kid has to ride in a cab alone, but the cab company has a contract and driver are assigned to a specific kid/route (to school or home) for several weeks at a time and then it rotates.

There are kid shuttling companies out there. OP could use one of those if she can't work out carpooling.
