Driving was not initially part of the job description, as we live in a very walkable area, but now she wants to take the children on outings farther away. She has insurance, but her car is registered out of state using her old address, and she didn't bother changing her address and insurance after moving to our state 6 months ago. I told her this was an issue for me. She told me she is "working on getting things switched over," but she hasn't made any changes a month later. She continues asking to drive the children, and the other family would like her to do so. The other family doesn't care about the registration/insurance issue, and they are acting like I'm being difficult. Am I being unreasonable?

Most states give you 30 days to switch you car registration and driver's licence to jurisdiction you move to. She is breaking law. Something must be wrong as it is a very simple process. . maybe Covid had made it difficult.

This. plus you need to do a background check re her driving record in the other state.

So it is essentially like being uninsured.

I asked to run the driving check on care.com and she told me to wait until she switched things over to our state (not sure why this would matter, but she for some reason wanted me to wait). Then she sent me a screenshot of what was supposedly her current care.com record. It was clean.

No way. If she has a current care record, you can log in and see it.

That's a red flag right there. We had a nanny lie to us about her record. You must check on this before letting her drive your children

Also even if you get an appointment, it is a random time of day, so I can see how it is hard for nanny to take off a day to deal with it. So I’d say give her a break.

I don’t think car insurance has anything to do with the car being registered in another state.

In general, I found that it is worth having a third car for parents to maintain and not rely on nanny’s car.

With a nanny who won’t change her license, do you want her on your insurance?

[/. No you don’t. And your instead Company will bounce her if her record is bad. Our nanny lied about her record. When State Farm ran her license we had to supply a notArized letter that she would never touch our cats. From a liability perspective it is much better to have the nanny drive her own car.

^^ touch our cars, not cats! Sorry, typing on small phone

If they are parking tickets then not such a big deal. Has nothing to do with children's safety.

the consensus I get is that she should at least have switched over her insurance to the new state. I would say she can't drive them until she does that and as a PP said, ask her to show you her appointment for the DMV and give her the day off.

Op -call your car insurance co agent and ask them to run her license and car registration. You may be quite surprised as we were.
