[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why don't you get a drivers license? [/quote]

Please do tell.[/quote]

I'm working on my license but it will take me at least a year. Reason being I don't have health care and need glasses badly.[/quote]

OP, I don't mean to sound harsh, but this is ridiculous.  If you can't see well enough to drive, you can't see well enough to be a nanny.  How are you going to manage your charge on a playground or while out walking if you can't what's going on around you, who might be following you, what filthy or dangerous object the kids just picked up off the ground, etc.?  I say this as someone who is also too nearsighted to drive but gets by just fine without glasses for most of the day.  When it comes to taking active kids to play or stroll outside, you need them.

Also, an eye exam and glasses don't have to cost a lot if you don't go for high-end, branded frames.  There are public health clinics set up specifically to help low income individuals with basics like this.  Try Google or call your local government's public health department.

Honestly, as an MB, if you told me that a lack of glasses is the reason you don't drive, I would write you off as someone who is too immature and unsophisticated about the world to take care of herself, let alone my children.  [/quote]
