[quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]"If a nanny accepts a job involving driving and using her own car, and she agrees to that job requirement, then she absolutely has to have a car to meet her job requirement. If her car dies, she needs to get a new car, for her own life and to meet her job requirements."

Spot on. [/quote]

Question for you: If a family hires a nanny whose car is capable of driving their 1 or 2 kids safely, and then the family has a 3rd child, are you saying the nanny needs to replace her car to accommodate the family's choice to add a child to the mix? Or do you think in that situation the family needs to choose to either provide an appropriate vehicle to transport 3 kids or choose to let nanny go and find a new nanny with a minivan?

I think it would be far easier for a nanny whose car can hold two kids to find another employer than for an employer to find a nanny who drives a minivan. Therefore, to me, if all is well with the nanny/family dynamic, the family providing a work vehicle is the best and easiest choice if they wind up having more kids than the nanny can fit in her car.[/quote]

I agree but this is a different situation.  I posted earlier, when we had 2 children, the nanny drove them in her own car.  When we had a 3rd child we got a minivan for the nanny to use.  It wouldn't make any sense to require the nanny to get a new car because we had a 3rd child.  We basically changed the terms of her employment when we had a 3rd child.  I think that is different, however, than if you have 2 children and specifically hire a nanny who can use her own car to drive them and then she decides to get a new car.  In that case the employers didn't change the terms of her employment.  If the nanny got a car that didn't accommodate the children anymore then SHE changed the terms of the employment.[/quote]
