[quote=Anonymous]Instead of trying to pay the minimum required (i.e. your 4th point) figure out what is a fair price for the typical worst case scenario (of course if theres some major accident and shes stuck with your kid for 2 extra hours you will have to cover that) and pay that, if the nanny gets a light traffic day thats a bonus for her.

1) There are services just like with background checks, interview people, find one you like, then pay to run her record.
2) Either, but it makes more sense to drive their own car unless you want to pay them for another 45 minutes to drive back to your house to get their vehicle.
3) With money. Ask them to see how much gas it takes them (i.e. have them fill up to 100%, then take your kid to school and fill up again. If they add 1.25 gallons in after the drop off then that's what it took her to do your job and you can add the average cost of 1.25 gallons to each run.
4) Per day based on my point above. Based on what you have written here I would do 1 hour each way to account for traffic. Then I would add another .5 hours at the end just to make them feel like they are never getting shorted. So if you are willing to pay for example $18/hr for this, you might offer $16, that's 16x4 + another .5($8). That's $72, same at $18x4, but with 18 you risk nanny feeling shorted on heavy traffic days. I always prioritize being more generous on the back end instead of up front, I can be a typical employer at $20/hr but I can be a really generous boss at $18/hr. That's my opinion on it.[/quote]
