Employer    Nanny      Comments: __________________________________________________

 

Live-in nannies provided by TSN need to have regular access to a car during their hours off the job.  This is especially important for transportation on evenings and weekends. The optimal situation would be to have a dedicated car for the nanny’s use.  However, if a car sharing arrangement is necessary, the nanny should be able to visit friends, go shopping, go to church services and activities, etc., without having to “ask” to use the car every time she goes out.

 

Is there a dedicated car available for the nanny’s use? Yes   No    

 

Is there a car sharing arrangement?   Yes     No      

 

Because the nanny uses the family’s car, she is covered under the family’s auto insurance policy.   

 

What is your deductible?  ______________________________________________________

 

If the nanny has an accident during child care, the family normally pays for the deductible.    However, if the nanny has an accident during personal use, who will pay for the deductible?  Employer?  Yes    No      Nanny?  Yes    No

 

Other concerns about driving? _________________________________________________________

 

A television in nanny’s quarters?  Yes   No     VCR? Yes   No     Cable? Yes   No
