Context: I’m in Dallas and there’s a great candidate in Fort Worth. Google maps says it’ll take her 45 minutes not in rush hour traffic to get here. She doesn’t think it’ll be a problem. I’ve commuted before for work and I know what a drag it can be. I’m inclined to pass and advise her of the realities of a long commute.
Cons: more likely to be late in the morning; not in the best mood when caring for little one; dreading the drive home every day; stress over cost of gas & vehicle maintenance, etc.
Do you limit your search to a radius by miles or minutes? Have you hired a commuter nanny who later quit for this reason? Does your nanny commute over 30 minutes and does it have a noticeable effect on her demeanor or quality of care?

I suppose, but it’s still the nanny’s job to arrive on time. I’m a nanny and was carjacked a couple years ago so had to rely on Ubers/public transit for awhile. It sucked, but because it was unreliable I just had to arrive super early. I would either go to the coffee shop down the street or for a walk around their neighborhood until my start time.
