Nanny & Mileage/Car

[mlgriffo]

Hi, I am v lucky to have an amazing nanny who has been with us for three years. I am expecting my 3rd child in August and currently she drives a 15 yr old car that doesn't have isofiix. We are looking to get this installed for the baby but wondering if people have situations where the nanny drives their car or has access to a car for school pick ups et ?

My ex friend bought a second car for that very reason. It was just a fiesta but it was newer and they felt it would have better crumple zones than her ancient unreliable banger. They let her drive to and from work in it but she had to pay for petrol if she wanted to drive it anywhere for personal use like at weekends evenings etc when off duty.

I don’t know what they did for insurance. You’d hate to put her on the policy and she loses your hard earned max no claims bonus by pranging the car or something!

Oh and sometimes they wanted the use of it themselves, like when the family car was in for a service or both the husband and wife needed a car each one day or whatever so it was never the nanny’s personal car. It was just a car.

It was then used by the next nanny when the first one moved away. They sold it when the kids got bigger and didn’t need any nanny any more.

In the 20yrs I was a nanny i always had a work car

Whether I let my mb take mine to station

Or I drove her in work car

Or had the spare car

One family brought a 3rd car as they both drove to work

Great thank you
