Although hiring a babysitter or nanny who can drive the kids from place to place can be a benefit, there is also a lot of trust and responsibility that comes with this privilege. Parents should complete a few simple steps to ensure the safety of their children. These include running a background check; checking references; determining which vehicle they’ll use; going on a test drive; making sure the nanny understands car seat safety; figuring out insurance and reimbursement; setting and discussing ground rules; using safe driving apps; and starting off slow and with small, close-by trips.
