[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not host an AP who cannot drive - one toddler with preK in (long) walking distance. It is too important to us that she get the kid out of the house as much as possible - and ferry her to activities/appointments when we cannot. Having been in nanny shares with nannies who don't drive, we would never do it again. We screen heavily for APs who can drive, as a result. It is hard now that you are attached to her - and presumably that the kids are attached to her - but if she is not get better after lessons and is not interested in getting a local license (which is her decision - and never the HF's decision, btw) I think you have to pass her on to someone who does not need a driver.

OP here, our insurance requires us to pay for all licensed drivers in our household.  So, we would be uninclined to support her getting a local license especially since we would not allow her to drive our kids.  After 12 hours of private lessons (when she said she could drive during match phase), the instructor said he would not endorse her driving.

I think we would be a good choice for an in-country au pair to extend, but maybe I am just optimistic.[/quote]
