[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our afternoon nanny/ housekeeper is back to picking up both of our kids after school, in our vehicle, as well as getting them to their sports or lessons outside of the house. As the children have aged, they often have to both be places at the same time or have friends thus we car pool with close to the house families. For school pick up or soccer Tuesdays, etc.

Apparently my nanny is complaining to my children about having to car pool and drop off a friend 3 minutes from our home in our exact neighborhood.  That child’s parents or sitter drive our child an equal amount of time as well. Our nanny is complaining about how she should get paid more by us and that child’s parents.

We view car pooling for kids age 7-15 quite common and a natural part of what we will need in childcare going forward. We pay our nanny well, she has a lot of downtime given the ages of the kids, and she’s driving our car.  [b]Is it time to find another person [/b]or an au pair who isn’t comparing every time a task changes? We have play dates too, does she want to charge me for those? [/quote]

Yeah.   Good luck with that!   Nannies who drive and are open to just working a part time afternoon schedule aren't exactly a dime a dozen.[/quote]

I don't think she has lots of downtime.  When she is not with the kids she must be cleaning and doing all chores that Housekeepers do.  That's lots of work.[/quote]
