[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] He wants the nanny to have a car and use it with the kids. I think that brings up all sorts of potential issues. [/quote]

What issues are you concerned about?

I'm a nanny who uses my own car. I think there are two considerations - how safe your car is vs. how safe a nanny's car is likely to be and which is more cost-effective. With a nanny who drives her own car you'll want to reimburse her for mileage/wear and tear - not just gas (for example, with all the mud the kids track into my car, smush into the backs of the front seats I have to either take the time to clean my car regularly or pay someone else to, and my mileage allowance goes toward that cost) - so it may make more sense to keep the car you already have?[/quote]

I posted this exact question of reimbursement for "wear and tear, cleaning, etc" and the MB's here flipped their shit and said I should only get gas repayment... [/quote]

If employers agree to the IRS mileage rate it covers wear and tear. Problem solved. Some MB's don't realize that use of our vehicles increases the frequency of maintenance.

I also solved the issue of the backs of the front seat getting covered by foot prints. The kids now clean the back of the seat in front of their car seats on a regular basis. I don't have to clean it and my car doesn't look like crap. They also now try to refrain from putting their feet of the back of the seat in front of them that way they don't have to clean them as often.[/quote]
