[quote=Anonymous]Also, bear in mind that in LA, there are an average of 21 days of the year (per NOAA data) where it exceeds 90 degrees. OP is in one of the coolest parts of LA, so on some of those days, it won't even break 90 where he/she lives. And presumably at least a few of those days are on weekends. The weather part is not a big deal.

We had a nannyshare for two years where the nanny took both kids almost everywhere by stroller, rain or shine. (She did drive and had seats installed for the kids, but only opted for the car when the weather was really awful.) The rest of the time they walked, anywhere from 1-2 miles roundtrip. We had a good double stroller that the nanny picked out at the start of the share. Everybody seemed happy with the arrangement.

I do agree that you should put this in the job description, though. My experience was that most nannies working in walkable neighborhoods in our city walk most of the time (if for no other reason than parking where we live is insane, especially for school dropoffs/pickups).[/quote]
