[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drive my charges 20-30 min away or 45 min tops. Mine are much older though (elementary and a middle schooler). When they are older they start joining all these club sports like hockey and soccer and the practices are all over the place so you have to expect it. Even if there are some of these things locally the parents want them in the most "elite" clubs sometimes that might be quite a distance. In any event, in your situation I feel really bad for the baby! It must wreak some havoc on feeding and sleeping schedules. There's also the gas mileage and wear and tear on your car. I get reimbursed for the gas but car maintenace and repairs can get expensive and I pay for those. I had a friend quit a nanny job because of it. You could try to sit down with parents and see if they'd let you research some activities closer to home for the kids. Good Luck![/quote]

If you don’t do federal mileage reimbursement, you should tell the parents you need to switch.  It’s intended to cover gas, oil changes and wear and tear.[/quote]
