Spot on.

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'm the first PP quoted and my answer is no, the nanny doesn't need to replace her car to accommodate a third child necessarily. It all depends on the agreement. If the job requirement is to have the nanny use her car to drive the charges, that is the requirement. If the parents change the terms by having a third child, then they are in violation of the agreement and should work with the nanny on how to renegotiate the transport issue. The nanny only has to deal with the situation she agrees to. If the family changes terms, they need to provide a car or whatever is necessary to allow the nanny to do her job.

If they fail at that, they should lose her and she would be better off with another family.[/quote]
