Would you pay for taxi

[1981m]

Got a babysitter potentially for sat night. It's one of the key workers at dd nursery. Only trouble is she doesn't drive. I said I d pick her up beforehand and take her to our house.

Send her our address and she's looking at how far it is to walk home afterwards. She lives in the next suburb about 5/10 mins if driving away. I am unsure if it's ok to let her walk home alone late at night? We ll probably go home 11.30/12. She's middle 20s I would say but her the impression she's single and lives alone.

Or should we pay for taxi home? With £9 hour price plus taxis for dh and I and dinner/drinks etc it would be an expensive night. But I would feel terrible if anything happened. She seems to not be bothered by walking home and hasn't put a time limit on when we get home.

She's getting paid enough to afford a taxi and took the job knowing she had no transport. Other people's employers don't pay for their transport so why should you? If she wants a taxi let her get one herself.

I would pay for a taxi but this would be agreed within her hourly rate.

I know, I just feel worried about her walking home alone late at night. I wouldn't walk at midnight alone.

Aurea- so you'd pay say £10 per hour to include price of taxi? And say to her you ll book taxi home for her so she doesn't just take more money and walk home anyway.

Murane has it. She's accepted the job, transport is her issue to sort, she's an adult not a naive teenager.

Why don't you n DH walk home and give her ure taxi she's helping u and it's hard to come by just keep her taxi money in back of purse u can't let her walk home she isn't going to baby sit and use all her money getting home that would be pointless doing it again or suggest if she wants to kip on sofa u drop her off in morning

If you're getting a taxi home, get them to wait and continue the journey from yours to hers after a quick switch over of passengers:)
