[quote=Anonymous]We have a nanny who drives our 2 yo a couple places a week, all of which are 2 miles away or less (Gymboree, library, playdates). She does not like to drive on the beltway or go down to DC.

Recently she met a new nanny friend from a class and they've started meeting up 5-15 miles away at places (shopping malls, horse rides etc.).  She has also started asking for more and more "gas money."

We pay the IRS rate, which on most weeks amounts to ~$5 for 8 miles, which everyone knows uses less than a quarter gallon of gas.  She drives her friends around a ton on the weekends.

Now she's asking for $30 and 40 extra a week citing she drove "far distances".  We're not in a position to pay someone $10 to go to the Mall once a day, it just feels wrong. Especially when its only 10 minutes away.

Anyone else have any solutions or ideas?  We gave her an 11% raise in late December and now she's asking for $100-120 more per month cash because in addition to being paid as a nanny she wants to be paid more as a driver. 
I don't see how this will not affect our relationship or any future raises. [/quote]
