[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buy, lease or rent a car for her to use when she is with the kids.  Although she prefers to use her own car, explain that while she is welcome to use it when she is on her own, you are not comfortable with her driving your kids in the old car due to the issues that is has been having.  Until she can resolve the maintenance issues, she should use the car you provide when driving the kids.

Options 1 and 4 are non-starters.  Unless you are paying for it entirely, you do not get to dictate that an employee must replace their car.[/quote]

This is the best solution. We have done this with our nanny successfully for many years and she is an insured driver on our policy. It allows us to have a safe and well-maintained vehicle for our nanny to drive our children around. It's not an "annoying" expense if you think of the alternatives. [/quote]

Thanks for this, it’s helpful to hear from people who have done this. [/quote]

I'm the "buy, lease or rent" PP.  I have a friend who was a SMBC and she did this.  She bought a used car for her live-in nanny to use with the kids.  The nanny was not supposed to use the car when she was on her own time.  This became helpful when her parents and brother came to visit, they also had a car available to them to use while visiting (as long as the nanny didn't need it for the kids).  I also remember a time when her own car was in the shop and she and the nanny juggled the one car until she got her car home).  Having an extra car around, periodically because helpful and even after the kids were older and going to school and the nanny had moved on, she kept the car for another couple of years before she sold it.[/quote]
