[quote=Anonymous]OP just a reality check here but you are not being underpaid at 14.50 an hour for Northern Virginia. I may have missed one of your subsequent posts but you said you did light housekeeping yet only listed things like children's laundry, kid's dishes etc. You should be aware that those are normal nanny duties. Light housekeeping is going non-kid related tasks like parents laundry, vacuuming the entire house etc.

I do think you should ask for mileage reimbursement instead of just having the gas tank filled up every two weeks but this will require you to track your miles precisely. You could also point out that as long as the gas compensation is at or below the IRS rate it is not taxable for either you or your employer. You could take one week and watch your miles closely and then compare what this would cost them compared to what they are already paying filling up the tank. Unless the activities are ones that they really want to the kids doing or preschool, be aware that they may curb how far you can take the kids if its costing them a lot a money and not a necessary trip.
