[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I have been a nanny for this family for 6 months now. I usually like to do crafts with the children, but lately our stock has been getting low (it's just stuff that Santa brought and that grandma gave them). Usually I would just go grab things periodically and not think twice about it, but I'm starting to realize how much that's actually costing me. What's the best way to approach my boss about this? I don't want to put stress on them by giving them a list of items to go buy. Should I keep receipts and ask for reimbursement? Or see if they can set up some sort of fund like an envelope with 20 bucks or so in it for us to go buy craft supplies? I just feel weird asking for money.

Second, I currently do not transport them at all. Three children, and the dad takes them to preschool while I stay home with the youngest. It's driving me nuts being cooped up here all day. But they don't have extra carseats. The dad has been able to leave the car there before so I can take them out, but that's rare because obviously he needs the car for work. How do your families do it? I was thinking of mentioning them buying another set of carseats for my use. Is this over the line? Or is it common for people to do that? It would just be nice to be able to take them on little outings. Any insight would be appreciated!
