Pay someone to drive teen from Hampstead Garden to Rickmansworth

Help! We need to hire a 3 mornings/wk driver from Hampstead Garden (near Golders Green) to get our teen girl to school in Rickmansworth 7:30 to 8:15. We don't have a car, and thought she'd use transit or a coach, but couldn't find a rental close to either. We signed a year-long contract for this fee school (couldn't get into a state school without a post code when we moved from California for a job). Our 13 yr old is exhausted and often in tears by the time she gets home from the long commute (1.5 hr each way, but would be 45 minutes in the morning by car). Hoping someone trustworthy may already be driving that way, or could use some extra cash: 100 gbp/wk. She would be most comfortable with a mom or young woman.

Honestly wouldn't it be easier to just book an Uber? At least then you know they're insured and monitored, not just some random person with your child in their car who could just drive off to anywhere and you'd never know.

It's about a £50 route so only £50 more than you're planning on paying this random mother/young woman - if you can even find anyone mad kind enough to drive three 45 min trips a week in London morning traffic for £100.
