[quote=Anonymous]I didn't know where to post this but since it relates to child care, I thought I'd post it here.

My 18yr SD recently moved in with us.  She is wonderful with the kids (8 and 5).  She is always willing to pitch in with chores when necessary.  I normally finish with work by 3:30.  I work from home.  Today at 3:30, I realized I really just needed a few more hours to finish up and it would make a huge difference.  I was muttering about going to pick the kids up from camp when she said she wasn't doing anything and would be happy to go pick them up.  After pick up she texted me that the kids had a great day at camp, wanted to go out for dinner.  Could she take them?  Yes, of course!  Then the text came saying they were going to the park and out for ice cream.  Lovely!!

When she got home, I realized I hadn't given her any money for dinner or ice cream.  My SD is very responsible and I don't expect that she would ever abuse a credit card.  I also worry about her getting stranded on the highway and not having enough money--with or without the little kids.  How do you handle money for the nanny?  Our kids were in daycare and having a non-parent have the ability to take the kids out and about is new territory.  Since she's also our daughter I don't expect a full accounting a receipts and it would be okay if she used it occasionally to go out to dinner or the movies with her friends.  If there ever was cc abuse, we would deal with it as any parent would.  [/quote]
