The nanny's car shall be left to transport to and from work.

Some employers expect their nannies to come to work in a car that runs smoothly; a car that doesn't leave them entwined in the middle of the road on her way to work, especially not the days both parents have emergency appointments or important work meetings. 

Most parents rely on the nanny's car to drive their children to and from school, doctor's appointments, the park, libraries and other daily extracurricular activities. They usually compensate the nanny by adding a little extra to their earnings for the use of her vehicle while at work. The most common pay for the use of the nanny's car at work is fifty dollars weekly.

All States have Transportation laws; some are more reasonable than others (refer to the Standard Mileage Rates in your State to find more). Nonetheless the nanny car depreciates faster when they use their car at work. A gas and mileage stipend doesn't cover just the minimum of nanny's car  expenses.

The car of the nanny is primarily to get to work/home and secondary to use it with her family and their friends. She might even use it to drive it over state trips. However, more that often there is not enough room left in the nanny's car for their own children because having one or two car seats locked on the back seat 24/7 handicaps the nanny's car leaving only the front passenger's seat available, not to mention the damage heavy baby car-seats does to the fabric or leather/fabric on her car. Taking the car-seats in and out of a car is time-consuming besides being such a work-related-job that is not paid to the nanny.

Moreover, the nanny's car payments, car insurance, tires, maintenance and mechanic failures are impossible to be covered with fifty dollars weekly. Parents need to take into account that by the time the nanny will leave the job she might have to get a new car in order to keep a reliable transportation for getting to the next job.

Some parents understand that the payment of a second family car mirrors the incentive they legally must offer to their nanny, with the difference that they own the family car and they chose to get a used car for the nanny to drive their infants while at work.  Other families transfer their older family car for the nanny to use at work and get a newer model contributing to the longer life of the nanny's vehicle.

Consider one of these options... your nanny will tremendously appreciate you for it, and you will notice it!
