As far as food goes,  we would provide extra cabinet space and fridge space for the other family to bring items that their child prefers. When it comes to preparing lunch,  I imagine if the kids don't like eating the same things the nanny would have to prepare 2 slightly different lunches. So I think the other family packing their kid's lunch would be easier.  I guess it comes down to trial and error at the beginning to see if the kids will eat common things.

If the nanny were to prepare lunch for both kids. And we'd provide milk and all food/ snacks,  what's a reasonable grocery contribution from the other family?[/quote]

I think with matching hours, this is solvable.  Talk with the other family and your nanny about what will work.  I honestly have no idea what portion of my food budget my toddler takes up.  If this came up in my share, I'd take a look at grocery receipts / prices for a sample week's work of toddler lunch/snack/milk food and use that as a basis of estimate.    Off the top of my head, it shouldn't be more than $50/week, i.e. two toddlers should be far less than $100/week to feed.  Entire families spend that much (granted, probably not DCUM families).[/quote]
