If you live in DC residential zoned parking...

[Anonymous]

If your nanny drives to your house each day, does she/he use your one and only visitor parking permit all the time, or is there another way to allow the nanny's car to park in DC residential zoned parking all day each weekday? (We live in Ward 1 and are in the process of hiring a nanny with a MAryland license plate.) Thanks!

She takes your visitor spot or you find and pay for a spot within 4-5 blocks. Though if I had to walk back and forth everyday that would come into consideration on whether this job worked for me. If you're near the metro you can offer a pass and possibly a bonus for choosing that route.

Make your nanny work 4-5 blocks after driving in from MD? Good luck keeping that nanny OP with this advice!

I worked for a family in ward 3. They gave me the guest pass. I'd return it if I was going away for more than a weekend

I'm going to guess you're posting from flyover country and don't understand the term "residential zone". There is no designated "visitor spot". There is a parking pass valid for the zone. It's up to the nanny to find a legal spot in the zone. That spot might be on the block where they work (and usually is) but it is also quite possible that they have to park a few blocks away. Any responsible adult who works in the city knows this and takes that into consideration when deciding on a job. Offering a metro pass and bonus for taking public transportation is...humorous. Sure, dim NFs who don't realize that there are many more nannies than positions might choose this, but for most of the adult population, working out their own transportation is expected in any city.
