[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would she buy a car? Does she have the money to buy one outright? I’m not sure she would get a car loan when she’s not a citizen or permanent resident? I think you should provide a car personally. I’d hate to have to call an Uber everytime I wanted to go out.

Live-in Nanny here.  Many families don't want someone else's car on their property and/or don't have space.  She has unlimited uber, and with the ability to schedule ahead?  It shouldn't be an issue...[/quote]

Having your own personal car allows you to go on road trips, allows you to go pick up friends and drop them off, it allows you to change your mind a 100 times and do a 100 things in short periods of time without feeling self-conscious someone is paying for all of this.

In most places you don’t need to park on a driveway and the AP could easily park on a side street.

I think the UBER offer is extremely generous and more than most families but if I can pick between my own car and unlimited UBER I am picking my own car (I also like driving and not having to wait on someone, in the cold or rain when I want to go somewhere) and not having to do small conversations with strangers all the time (though I do enjoy them at times).[/quote]
