Driving wavier

[Anonymous]

If you are a Nanny that drives for your family, did you have them sign a waiver? Why or why not? Should you be more concerned about having the job or protecting yourself if there is a vehicle accident?

I didn’t sign anything. They put me on their car insurance.

What kind of waiver?

Don’t you have insurance, OP? If you’re in an accident and it’s your fault, your insurance pays. If someone hits you and they are in the wrong, their insurance pays.

Just drive carefully.

Most insurance won’t pay for anything incurred in the process of working, with non-relatives in the car. That’s why I make sure my employers add me to their insurance. I’ve yet to have an issue with an employer who pays legally and agrees to contract not wanting to handle insurance this way.

Maybe I should have been more specific. This is in reference to you driving your own vehicle. I've been informed by a friend thats a police officer. If there is an accident, with damages the family can continue to sue you for injuries. However if you have a waiver signed prior to, it frees you from liability when driving the kids in your personal vehicle.

They should be providing you a vehicle!

A waiver for what. If you are driving your car, get extra insurance that is made for work so you are covered and ask them to pay for it. I had it for many years when I drove for work in my car.

The parents can’t sue you for injuries/death to their child is the accident wasn’t your fault. Drive carefully. Drive as if a tiny person’s life depended on it because it does.

If a nanny asked me to sign a waiver like this and I would assume you were a horrible driver.

I doubt it would mean anything in court but it’s not unreasonable. Even the best driver can get into an accident.

Agree. Why should you use your vehicle at 50 cents a mile?! If they want you to drive their kids, they provide vehicle or pay a generous car allowance.
