Transportation to Mount. St Dominick in Caldwell

I’m thinking of having my daughter attend school here but the school offers no busing and of course there are no trains.  I’m happy to pay for transport but don’t want to just put my kid in an Uber everyday. Ideally I could find a private service (from past threads I searched I know there used to be one for just this kind of child transport, but it not in business anymore) but I’d also be willing to find a reliable individual for drop off between 7 and 8 and pick up at 3 ish. 


Thanks for any ideas or insights. 


Are there any existing carpools from this area that your daughter could join?


does the college have a way to post a help wanted ad?  maybe an older (junior/senior) from the college or an employee of the college (although the college may not allow employees to transport students if the high school and college are under the same entity)


Probably not what you are looking for  - but I recall girls going there used to get the NJ Transit Orange Crosstown bus - then change to a Bloomfield Ave bus to go to Mt St Dom's or Essex Cty College.


Our daughter attended the Mount, graduated in 2011.  There were no transportation opportunities then either, fortunately for us, my business/work allowed me to drive her, so unfortunately I have no suggestions, other than to say it was a great school experience for her. What I can point out is that our daughter got involved in lots of after school activities, soccer, golf, cheerleading, so pick up was more like 5-6, rather than 3. The other point is that it’s about a 20 mike round trip, twice a day, so ate into my lease mileage pretty quick.  


You may want to check with the school to see if there are other students from the area so that maybe you could arrange a car pool
