Kid's Taxi Driver

If you have kids or know someone who does then you know that they are always on the go. They have baseball practices, soccer games, dance lessons, dental appointments, play dates and more. If you have more than one child, good luck getting each of them to their respective appointments on time. This is where you as a Kids’ Taxi Driver can swoop in to save the day.

Your very valuable service will help out parents who are busy, working or at home without access to a vehicle get their children safely to and from their many appointments.

What does it take to be successful in this career? Patience! Ok, you will need a little more than that like the ability to ignore distractions from the precious cargo you will be driving such as singing, talking, giggling and the minor “he’s looking at me” arguments. You will also need a strong stomach in order to handle the occasional car sick child. Did I mention that you must love kids, get their humor, enjoy listening to their music and treat them like people instead of a package for delivery? Organizational skills are also a must in order to devise a route that will get each child to their destination on time. Although not mandatory, I suggest that you take classes to become certified in first aid and cpr.

Other incidentals you will need include a reliable vehicle such as a 6 passenger van or a used small school bus, ample insurance and a cell phone. The cell phone will come in handy as a two way transfer of information with parents such as keeping them informed of traffic tie-ups or parents needing to make a destination change on the fly as well as any other delay from either end.

Remember, you will need to register your business with the state and federal governments. Once you are legal I suggest you get some business cards and start advertising with flyers at schools, day care centers, on library bulletin boards and anywhere else kids and parents are plentiful.
