Of a parent wants their nanny to drive their children's the parents provide the automobile. If they cannot afford another car then kids stay home. Cars are expensive items and an employee should not be expected to have her car trashed for your children.

I would agree with you except for the rare instance when the nanny car is unsafe to drive for the day due to a flat or other unforeseen malfunction. Then Nanny Deb's rules apply.

So what do you want if nanny has a flat? I'd think she'd call AAA.

No, the nanny's car is used in the event that the employer-provided nanny vehicle is not usable.

-Pay IRS rate mileage reimbursement for every mile driven.
-Toss in a full detailing every 6 - 12 months.
-Allow nanny to set the rules for her car.
---If nanny only allows water for kids in her car, the kids will not starve. They can eat when they get to their destination, or before they leave home.
---If nanny has behavior rules, allow her to enforce them.
---If nanny wishes to RF longer then you do, let that happen as long as the car seats can be safely used RF.

+1000. Great post.

My children did not year up our automobiles. There were also rules: eating or drinking in car was a rule set in concrete. Cars are not diners.
