[quote=Anonymous]Yes, this is a hard thing.  I'm an MB.  I totally understand someone not being comfortable driving in rotten weather (and would NEVER want anyone driving my kids if they are uneasy).  I happily pick our nanny up, and she often just stays over when bad weather is predicted (as she did last night).

On the other hand, she's also incredibly panicky so yesterday morning we had to pick her from from 4 houses away (literally) where she was staying w/ another family she works for sometimes.  We had to go to the door, hold her arm to the car, drive her the 4 houses, hold her arm from the car to our house (and we had shovelled and salted repeatedly so the ground was very clear).  It's a little hard because she is absolutely terrified of the weather, to the point where it's kind of irrational.  She's terrific at her job, and we value her greatly, so we are willing to work around it but it can get a little tough and I am a little concerned about getting the kids out of house - even just to play in the yard - when she's so terrified.  They can't spend all winter inside.  So we'll have to see if this becomes a more difficult issue.  This will be her first winter with us but we've had very mild winters so haven't really had to test our limits.

It's a pretty subjective thing something though (one's comfort in any given weather situation) so it's tough to have a fixed policy that covers all individuals and all potential situations.[/quote]
