[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's done is done, OP.  Good news is that in the summer there are usually plenty of teens/college students around looking for babysitting gigs.  Get on your neighborhood FB group or other similar sites and post that you looking for someone.  [/quote]

So here's the problem with that.  In this day and age of Uber, Lyft, Door Dash and the like, insurance companies are scrutinizing claims that occur in transportation sorts of employment.  If all goes well and there is no accident, great.  But if there's an accident while your teen is transporting another kid, you are at risk of an insurance denial and it puts your family open to uninsured liability of OP's kid gets hurt in an accident or you sustain property damage in the event the accident is your kid's fault.

I get that most people don't think about this, but I am a lawyer and this is my field of practice.  Years ago, this wouldn't have been an issue but today it is.  Much as I want to help my neighbors when they need it, I would not allow my teens and college aged kids take on these tasks.  And, we got a lot of asks this summer, so OP, you are not alone.

This is a weird take.  Nannies and afternoon sitters regularly drive kids.  People carpool all the time, etc.  OP ignore all the weird hand wringing on this thread and just find a kid home from college to drive your kids home a couple days of week.  Plenty of them around with little to do and looking to make a bit of $$$.  Jeez.  [/quote]
