[quote=Anonymous]It's perfectly acceptable to restrict the nanny's driving for 6 months to a year (trips at that point are for the nanny, not LO). After that, I'd say you need to take some steps to become comfortable with nanny driving; ride in the car with them for a few trips (or have a trusted adult do it), ask for check-ins when departing/arriving (there are apps that can share GPS pins if that would help), go over ground rules and make sure whoever is driving can safely deal with unexpected road events (like a flat tire) according to your wishes.

I know it seems like this isn't something you will ever be truly comfortable but it is going to be a part of your life from now until your child is driving on their own, best to start somewhere!

And, despite what you are going to hear here, there are plenty of nannies who understand the anxiety that parents have about driving and won't push you to drive their LO around until you are ready for it. You aren't damaging (or isolating) anyone by not allowing car trips right away![/quote]
