I’m an educator-nanny type and I stop cooking for my charges when they only eat what their parents eat.  For groceries, there will always be things (like milk) that the parents don’t need.

I’ve been a nanny for twenty years and the distinction between duties is pretty clear and far less confusing than you’re assuming it to be.  Trying to belittle the PP is beneath us all.  If you want a housekeeper-nanny type, you will have absolutely no problem finding one.  [/quote]

That sounds inconvenient. We (the parents) often eat out of the house, or minimal dinner, but our nanny always makes sure there are healthy meals available for our 3-year old.  It would be odd for her to say, well mommy and daddy decided to have popcorn for dinner tonight so no meal for you. His meals are his meals, they aren't related to ours.  I mean sometimes he does eat what we made but we didn't want to cook or not cook with him in mind. We fend for ourselves but nanny takes care of his food.[/quote]

Most nannies will cook (or warm) food for just kids.  But we’re not making larger batches (on purpose) to leave leftovers for their parents.[/quote]
