[quote=Anonymous]When we got a nanny for our twins, we knew we wanted someone that would be with us for many years and would therefore need to drive.  We picked a nanny with a clean driving record and a safe car.  We bought two car seats for her and she basically just keeps them in her car all the time.  I don't know how old they were when she first started driving them because I can't think of the first thing they did outside the house, but it was basically right from the start.  Am I nervous about it?  Sure, because something could happen to my children any time.  But I'm also nervous when my husband takes them to visit his parents and I stay at home.  Or when they're at school.  Or even when they're asleep in our house at night.  I guess I figure as much as I want to protect them from everything in the world, I can't, so it's not something I dwell on.  I can't even think of all the awesome things they have been able to do in the last few years since our nanny drives them.  I make it clear to her that she is not to use her phone for any reason while driving.  If someone calls her for an emergency I want her to pull over.  Once I know she texted me (I'm guessing at a red light) on the way home from something and I made it abundantly clear that that did not fly.  If the car is on, the phone is off.  Period.  I think our nanny is infinitely happier with being able to take our kids all over the place.  And I think the kids are happier, too.[/quote]
