[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe her DH is an auto mechanic or knows one who will do the job at cost.  It's one thing to pay for the repair a.d quite anothet to have car payments if they can't afford them.  It is beyond presumptous for OP to tell her nanny she must get a new or newer car.  You are a real ass, OP. [/quote]

OP has acknowledged that it is not her place to suggest or insist that her nanny buy a new car. That is not what she is trying to do. The OP does have a right to ensure her children's safety, and that means that making sure any vehicle they are transported in is safe and reliable. When the OP brings up her concerns with her nanny she can see what the nanny offers up as a solution. If the nanny has no solution regarding her unsafe and unrealiable vehicle the OP will then have to decide between allowing her child (soon to be children) to ride in a care she is not comfortable with in terms of safety or finding a new nanny with a more reliable and safe vehicle. OP already said providing a car for the nanny is not feasible.

It's a crappy situation. No one likes having to tell their nanny that they have to choose between providing a more reliable vehicle or losing their job. However it might come down to that...in more diplomatic terms of course. If a new car is not within the nanny's budget no one is going to fault her for that, but unfortunately the safety of a child comes first. The reliability of the nanny's car is also an issue b/c I don't know many nanny families who can provide unlimited flexibility regarding scheduling for car issues. It sounds like due to the unfortunate car issues this nanny is no longer able to meet the conditions of her employment. When nannies can no longer meet the requirements of their job it's time to part ways unless a new solution can be found. [/quote]
