[quote=Anonymous]I'm transitioning from a long term nanny to an AuPair. Our nanny had our American Express for years and would use it for all child related purchases....gas, food, outings, supplies...ect. I trust her 100% and she had full run of the card, no receipts required (of course I looked at the bill monthly to make sure nothing was crazy).

However, now I'm switching to an AP and I don't think I'm comfortable letting someone I don't know that well who is young loose with a credit card without a limit. I looked online quickly for a secured card, like something that I dump a few hundred on each month and it seems like everything out there is for people with bad credit and has outrageous fees.  I could just as easily get a pre-loaded visa card, but I can't get a statement from one of those and track expenses.

What do employers do? What is your experience as a nanny/AP with expenses?

Reimbursing the AP is not an option, I don't think that is fair to her to float money for my expenses, especially considering how little they make.[/quote]
