How to look for transportation

Posted by bluoasis (My Page) on

I'm looking for someone to drop off our son to and from school. Hubby is disabled, so we're looking for alternatives. I put an ad out on another board, but wasn't sure what type of business it would be under. Would it be considered rideshare, childcare, or what? I'm asking because I always saw the minivans with different kids getting in from school. I assumed they were childcare.

I'm frustrated, my hubby wants him to take the bus, and I don't. Our son would have to ride with many kids that harrassed him last year.. Hubby thinks he needs to get out there and quit hiding.

Any ideas how to help? I'm afraid that my anxiety will go through the roof everyday, if he takes the bus.

RE: How to look for transportation

You do not say how old the child is.
I'm not sure if quit hiding is the right approach to harassment. You should work with the school officials to tackle the harassment issues. You might be able to get him on a different route perhaps or you can get special arrangements made for the bus ride.
Again, a lot depends on how old the child is.
Do you know parents of any of his friends who are car riders?

I do not know if I would do advertising to ask for a stranger to take my child to school. I would probably rather reach out to other adults related to the school that I already know. There are college kids who contact our school from time to time to do nanny type work including carpooling - but it's arranged thru the school.
