[quote=Anonymous][quote]Your employers should not be expected to contribute to the cost of a new vehicle for you, unless they had a vote in what car you chose.

They should, however, be paying you the IRS rate for mileage and wear/tear on your vehicle - which you should be documenting. And, IMO, they should pay to have your car detailed periodically.

This. Why is this even a question?[/quote]

Agreed. Presumably, the nanny will have the car longer than she will have the job (because cars last so long, NOT because the nanny isn't good) so she should not expect the NF to contribute to the purchase of the car. Besides, that doesn't actually address the nanny's problem, which is minimizing mess. The IRS rate is sufficient to cover wear and tear on the car, including cleaning, but if I had three kids, I would offer a periodic bonus for extensive detailing.

I think it is a reasonable request to have the nanny use her own car, as long as she is reimbursed at the IRS rate, and fully understands the requirement before taking the job. [/quote]
