Am I responsible for my babysitter's broken car glass?

Op did you end up giving the babysitter money for the damage?

There's no way I would be paying for that glass, that or I would pay for it to be fixed, sell it, and the family can provide a work vehicle.

Ha, ha, good one. You just eliminated 75% of DC area nanny jobs requiring a car.

Wow good find ! Op don't pay her anything

Except that's a driver side rear-view mirror, not a window.

I paid $75 for that for my BMW SUV and they installed it for free in 2 seconds when I went to ask how to install it (click in). It was just the mirror that goes into the frame, not the part that holds the mirror though.

I live-in, and most live-in positions provide a car, so it only eliminates 5-10% of the jobs that I would take.
