Driving an automatic for the first time!

Picked up a little part time job as essentially a companion/housekeeper to an older lady. She's asked me to take her out in her car and I'm a bit nervous because it's an automatic and I've never driven one before (been driving 15+ years, but always had a manual!)

Any tips, please? It's a Ford Grand Tourneo, if that matters.

(and just because I know someone will ask, yes I'm insured, was added onto the policy as a named driver today!)

Thank you!

Finallyhere's instructions are great. Just to add, some automatics have an auto hold feature so they won't creep forward as soon as you take your foot off the break, only when you touch the accelerator.
