Also even if you get an appointment, it is a random time of day, so I can see how it is hard for nanny to take off a day to deal with it. So I’d say give her a break.

I don’t think car insurance has anything to do with the car being registered in another state.

In general, I found that it is worth having a third car for parents to maintain and not rely on nanny’s car.

[b]With a nanny who won’t change her license, do you want her on your insurance?

So it is essentially like being uninsured.

I asked to run the driving check on care.com and she told me to wait until she switched things over to our state (not sure why this would matter, but she for some reason wanted me to wait). Then she sent me a screenshot of what was supposedly her current care.com record. It was clean.

No way. If she has a current care record, you can log in and see it.

Driving was not initially part of the job description, as we live in a very walkable area, but now she wants to take the children on outings farther away. She has insurance, but her car is registered out of state using her old address, and she didn't bother changing her address and insurance after moving to our state 6 months ago. I told her this was an issue for me. She told me she is "working on getting things switched over," but she hasn't made any changes a month later. She continues asking to drive the children, and the other family would like her to do so. The other family doesn't care about the registration/insurance issue, and they are acting like I'm being difficult. Am I being unreasonable?

Most states give you 30 days to switch you car registration and driver's licence to jurisdiction you move to. She is breaking law. Something must be wrong as it is a very simple process. . maybe Covid had made it difficult.
