[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny who prefers to drive my own car and only worked for one family that was able to leave one of their vehicles home on certain days. I like my own car because I'm used to it, know how it handles in weather, I also purchase my own car seats I get ones I like, that have long rear facing and forward facing limits, I know how to install them in my vehicle, know they fit, and know how to properly use and care for them. I can also use my car my rules and all my families have been ok with that rule so I rear face until a minimum of age 2 but the seats I have will rear face most kids as close to 4 which is the recommendation, I have a no food or drink policy which also has never been a problem.

Can you sit down with the nanny and ask her if it's possible for her to get her vehicle inspected by a mechanic and get any safety concerns fixed? I had a vehicle that the check engine light was always on but there was nothing wrong the light was just malfunctioning due to the cars computer system. I would require wipers fixed as those are a safety issue. What kind of car does she drive? Some sports cars handle just fine in snow also if the roads are that bad then it's probavly better for her to stay home regardless of the vehicle. You will also need to find car seats that fit in her car. I'm a CPST, and would be able to help you find appropriate seats. Rear facing seats will be a little more difficult to choose from since they can't touch the vehicle seat in front of them but there are options. I would also suggest to your nanny to add a rider on to her insurance policy so she's covered when driving for work this is required in some states and optional in others but its best to have it. It's usually $10-20 extra a month if that[/quote]
