If they're lazy or precious, they can cab a mile. It would likely be slightly more expensive than the metro, but not egregious if they walk most days.
Occasional rainy days or a nanny afraid of walking or weather is not a good reason to put a kid in aftercare.
Pickup is an absolutely reasonable expectation of a professional nanny. Hopefully, your nanny recognizes that. If she doesn't, you need a new nanny.
There's no reason to trash the nanny. OP has already indicated that she is in fact not lazy, and would agree to any request.
