My issue with it is that when I hired her we talked about driving being an important part of her duties and as a result I pay her 20 an hour full time and my kids are in school in the morning. If I had know that she wanted gas/milage money on top of that I would have lowered her hourly rate. Thoughts?


You both failed to discuss this during the interview process which is why you had this issue come up. Honestly, anytime a nanny is using her car for work- you are supposed to be paying the IRS rate. Gas reimbursement has never been a part of my hourly rate. They should be separate. How did you resolve the issue with you nanny?


In my experience, nannies who are willing and able to use their own vehicle to transport your children come at a premium rate AND you still reimburse for mileage at the IRS standard rate, which is typically established in November for the coming year.

You otherwise would have to provide nanny with an auto to perform the kiddie shuttle, insure it, maintain it, and keep the gas tank full. Her slightly higher rate allows you to skip the cost of purchasing and insuring this second vehicle, and the mileage reimbursement compensates her for actual usage.

Many families all throw in a detailing once a year (or more frequently depending on the situation) to clean up the debris in her car caused by dripped bottles, french fries, muddy shoes, and all the extras your child donated to her car. As a mom of 3 I know this is completely unavoidable, and it is a nice gesture to offer to help the nanny maintain the look/feel of her vehicle, particularly the interior.
