[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We made it a condition of hiring.  Stated clearly that a signigicant responsibility of the job was transporting the kids to/from preschool, playdates, etc... And that the ideal candidate would have safe, reliable transportation, a pristine driving record, comprehensive insurance and be willing and able to keep the carseats we provide in her car.

We reimburse all approved mileage at IRS rates (which covers wear and tear etc...) and we also pay for an annual full detailing.

We had lots of applicants for whom these all seemed like pretty standard expectations.[/quote]

IRS wear and tear mea,s tires, miles put on car not installing permanent car seats or messy kids.[/quote]

Right.  IRS level reimbursement, we provide and install the carseats [b](which are to remain in the car)[/b] and pay for detailing.

There is no problem here.  Pick a fight elsewhere.

This would be a major problem for me.  I have no problem using my car if a family is unable to provide me one (and honestly I feel more comfortable with the arrangement) but you had better believe that I will be taking the carseats out any time I need to.  Unless you plan on taking over my car payments, it is still my vehicle to use as I see fit when I am not on duty; this includes having passengers and cargo in the backseat.[/quote]

Fine.  See my beginning...  "condition of hiring".  We made our expectations/wishes clear in the ad, followed that up in confirming this was ok w/ all final candidates, and the nanny we hired is totally fine with it.  You simply would have not responded to my ad or would have made your conditions clear and we would have hired someone else.

It's all in the communication.  All of this is negotiable, and all of this (accepting or declining) is perfectly fine as long as everyone is clear and upfront about their expectations.  None of this was an issue with the candidates, finalists, or employee we hired in this position.  And I had no lack of great candidates to choose from.

I would say it was no problem to keep them installed. Then when I needed the backseat I would take them out anyway. Sorry to burst youtr bubble. [/quote]
