For a number of years I’ve wanted to start a business to transport kids to their activities. I know the concept of Uber for kids already exist in some places but it’s not near me.

I start thinking about how I could recruit some drivers, run some background checks and then start recruiting weary parents who are tired of driving. Then I think about the logistics of all of it and take a walk instead lol

    Yeah this is very tricky. One problem: most well-trained nannies won’t get paid enough to make it worth it. It’s already hard to find a good candidate to drive your kids to activities, because that’s only 1-2 hours of work tops, and it means the nanny isn’t able to take another job. After-school is prime nanny time, and a good nanny charges ~$27 an hour on average. So they’d rather take a 3-4 hour job that doesn’t require constant driving vs 1-2 hours of pick-up/drop-off.
