[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, we live near you, and our last two au pairs have not *wanted* to use the car--we offered it for personal use if they would get a MD driver's license but they never bothered. If they came home late, they took a taxi or came home with a friend. Two things that helped: (1) I choose older, more mature au pairs, who are less of the "take an inch" variety (22+), and (2) I specifically ask during the selection process whether they regularly use public transportation and stress that public transportation is important in our area. I lived in DC most of my adult life without a car, using public transportation, so I don't think it's too much to ask *provided your au pair has experience using public transportation* which is common in Europe and in the bigger cities worldwide (eg Sao Paolo). If our next au pair wants to use the car and get a license, we will permit it but we already have rules written in the handbook.[/quote]
