[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a little notebook in the car and ask her to write down approximate mileage for personal trips and not to worry if it's just to the local grocery store or mall.  We charge a per mile fee based on how much gas costs and don't do any "wear and tear" charge.  We had one au pair who was driving about 80 miles per day to visit her boyfriend and had another au pair who I think maybe drove the car personally for about 80 miles total her entire year with us (we stopped even charging her for it).  I think it is completely reasonable to expect for au pairs to pay for transportation for personal use.  Why wouldn't it be???[/quote]
You are not allowed to control the au pair
Au Pair has to have freedom of movement. This means that an au pair must have access to transportation, be it a bus or a train or a car. The transportation must be safe. One she can use during weekends, work days and evenings. It must be safe. You cannot demand she takes the train in a high crime neighborhood where there is a risk of being attacked on her way home
