[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,

I would love to hear some advice from both nannies and employers.  I am looking ahead to next school year, and we're thinking about hiring a nanny who will pick up our son at his preschool, which is a half hour from our home.  We've never had a nanny drive our kids anywhere, so I'd love to know what issues I should be thinking about.

Some questions I have at the outset are:
Should we offer to pay gas / mileage?  How does this work? Yes, you should definitely offer to pay whatever the standard mileage rate is at the time. For example I think now it is .53cents per mile. I assume gas is included here.
The nanny would be part-time, afternoons only, and the first real job duty would be picking up our son.  To that end, should she report to work (our home) first to start the clock, so to speak? I would start the Nanny’s time at the given hour she needs to be at the preschool.
Is the normal expectation that nannies drive their own car and the family provides the car seat, or that the family provides the nanny the car to drive (which would necessarily involve the nanny starting the shift at our home). Either way is acceptable.

I am sure there are logistics I am not thinking about, and I would really appreciate your advice and feedback!

Oh, make sure your Nanny provides you w/a recent DMV printout.
An excellent driving record is a necessity here.

And your Nanny receives her hourly rate while driving too.

Wishing you the best in your search!

Thank you![/quote][/quote]
