[quote=Anonymous]I am an employer and will have a nanny work for us through most of the school year. Her job will entail caring for my daughter in the morning and driving her to preschool (2.1 miles per day) twice each week. So that is about 8 miles per week roundtrip (I do the pickups). She will then watch her 2 evenings/week - no driving necessary - and once on the weekends where no driving is necessary but they may want to go to gymboree, etc just to get out of the house. Let's say on average she drives my daughter 20 miles per week (I don't think it will be that much). Then there will be 5 occasions over the course of the year when preschool is closed and she needs to drive my daughter to drop off care at dh's work, about 15 miles each way so a 30 mile roundtrip.

Do I offer to pay for her gas in some way? This has not come up and she will be driving her own car. I feel like I should offer something but not sure how much since the driving is so minimal. It looks like the government mileage rate is .56/mile - should I offer her $40/month to offset gas? I am just not sure.[/quote]
