Nanny advice for vehicle needed

I’m a nanny and I’m looking for some advice on whether this is a reasonable conversation to have with my nanny family.
Right now I drive a Fiat 500X with about 40k miles. My commute to their house is about 30 minutes each way, and once I’m there I also drive the toddler to and from school (about 20 minutes each way). Between my commute and work-related driving, I’ll be spending around 2.5 hours a day in my car.
They cover my gas, which I really appreciate, but it’s still a lot of wear and tear on my vehicle. I had hoped to upgrade to something bigger, but it’s just not financially possible for me right now.
They also have a new baby due soon, and once the baby is a few months old I’ll be transporting both the infant and toddler. My Fiat isn’t tiny, but it definitely feels tight with two car seats and all the baby gear.
Would it be unreasonable to ask if they would consider providing a family vehicle for me to use while I’m working? I’m not asking them to buy me a car to own, just wondering if it’s a reasonable discussion to have about using a work vehicle once I’m driving both kids every day.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation, either as a nanny or a nanny family? How did you handle it?

my 1.5 year progress

5’1
first pic 180lbs
second 145 lbs
I lift five days a week.
at 1700 cal on a cut currently
as a petite girl, I always felt like even my after is “too much weight” my current goal is 135
I really struggled with binge eating from depression, but I tried everything!
what really helped me was fasting. It helped me control my food noise a lot without getting in a crazy deficit.. then I found a love for fitness became a trainer and now I get to use my results as my testimony for client. I know there’s a lot of women out there who checked this Reddit page trying to find a magic cure.
I know I did for a long time before I finally saw any weight loss.
but your consistency and discipline is gonna take you far. You got this.
I was really struggling with my acne,
so much inflammation in my back.
everything just felt like it was going wrong. Been at the same weight for eight months now I keep feeling like I’m hitting a plateau, but even when I look at pictures of myself from four months ago, I see my body is going through a lot of recomposition without necessarily dropping the weight. Don’t forget to take as many before and after photos as you can, you’ll see a difference in your photos before you see the scale drop.
my whole purpose of this post is just to encourage you guys to continue on. I worked so hard and didn’t see any differences until one day just felt like the weight was dropping off me.

Tattoo removal 2nd session in

Thinking about stretching my appointments out a little longer. Is 6 weeks in between good or should I try 10? This is on my chest
