Nannies Get Ticketed, Moms Revolt

She didn't need a parking spot

​Nannies are part of the family, too, which is why a legion of San Francisco mothers is pushing the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to let their nannies reap the benefits of residential parking permits.

It's understandable that parents do not want their nannies to leave their kids unattended while they circle the block looking for a new parking spot every two two hours.

But where to draw the line? As KGO reports, people want to know: Can their dog walkers get  parking permits as well?

According to media reports, the residential parking permit program has been around since 1976, allowing people to park in their own neighborhoods without getting ticketed or having to move their vehicle every two hours. Nannies once had the benefit of being included in a family's residential parking permit, but not anymore.

Next week, the MTA board will consider a proposal to allow nannies to join the family parking permit once again.

"It's a very difficult situation -- on the one hand, obviously, we're pro family. We want people to have families and stay in San Francisco, and for them this is a quality of life issue. But on the other hand, we are a transit-first city," Bond Yee from the SFMTA told KGO.

But really, how easy is it to get a stroller and two kids onto the bus?
