[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's worth noting that at least per the original OP, the daughter is just coming along to the destination. She doesn't want to hang out with the kids and may not even want to hang out with her mom. It doesn't sound like OP is actually being asked to pay for anything - she's just worried that will happen. With good communication and clear expectations, it won't.

I used to accompany my husband on business travel all the time. Sometimes it was appropriate to join a business dinner, other times not. Sometimes he was occupied until midnight with business stuff, other times we did things together. The purpose of tagging along when he went to LA was to go to the beach, not his meetings. I'd imagine the teenager wants to be going to the beach, not babysitting OP's children in exchange for an overpriced steak.[/quote]

No, read it again. Nanny wants meals paid. [/quote]

[quote][i]She asked if she can bring her teenage DD with her and cover her costs [/i](meals, etc.). In addition to transportation challenges and changing the group dynamics,[i] I question whether we’ll actually end up paying for her DD’s meals[/i][/quote]

I read that as the Nanny wants to cover her daughter’s meals. OP is worried that won’t happen and at the end OP will have to pay.

The nanny is not asking for OP to pay for her daughter’s meals or expenses.[/quote]

Nanny should be working 8 hours a day.  After that you give her a stipend for her meals outside of yours.  I suspect nanny is expected to be with them all the time.  Just leave the kids home with nanny.[/quote]
