3. Non-Solicitation of Clients

Transportation and Driving Policy
Effective: November 2025
1. Purpose
This policy ensures the safety of children, families, and sitters when transportation is involved during any childcare assignment arranged by Mia’s Minis, LLC (“Mia’s Minis”). It outlines the responsibilities, permissions, and insurance requirements related to driving or vehicle use.
2. Transportation Overview
Transportation may occur in two forms: a sitter using their own personal vehicle, or a sitter using a family’s vehicle at the family’s request. All transportation must be conducted with the express permission of both the family and Mia’s Minis.
3. Sitter Driving Their Own Vehicle
If a sitter uses their personal vehicle to transport children, the sitter’s personal auto insurance provides primary coverage in the event of an accident. Sitters are required to maintain a valid driver’s license, personal auto insurance that includes business use coverage, and a safe, registered, and regularly maintained vehicle. Sitters must obey all traffic laws and ensure all passengers are properly secured in age-appropriate car seats or restraints provided by the family. Sitters may not transport children unless expressly approved by the family and Mia’s Minis.
4. Sitter Driving the Family’s Vehicle
If a sitter drives a family’s vehicle at the family’s request, the family’s auto insurance provides primary coverage. Sitters must have prior written or verbal approval from both the family and Mia’s Minis before driving any client vehicle and must confirm that the family’s vehicle is properly insured and safe for use.
5. Business Liability
Mia’s Minis carries General Liability Insurance with a Hired and Non-Owned Auto (HNOA) endorsement. This coverage protects the business against liability claims in the event a sitter is involved in an auto accident while working on a Mia’s Minis assignment. This coverage does not replace or override the sitter’s or family’s personal auto insurance and does not
cover physical damage to vehicles or personal injuries directly.
6. Prohibited Activities
Sitters are strictly prohibited from transporting children without express consent, using a vehicle that is uninsured, unregistered, or unsafe, texting or using a phone while driving, allowing unauthorized passengers, or consuming alcohol, drugs, or any impairing substances before or during transportation.
7. Reporting Requirements
If a sitter is involved in an accident or traffic incident while working, they must: (1) Contact emergency services (911) if anyone is injured. (2) Notify the family immediately. (3) Contact Mia’s Minis at (571) 239-4541 as soon as possible, no matter the severity. (4) Provide a written summary of the incident within 24 hours.
8. Acknowledgment
By signing below, the sitter acknowledges that they have read, understand, and agree to
comply with this Transportation & Driving Policy. All sitters have a signed copy on file.
