[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just include her purchases in your order, and then she can take them home on the days they are delivered to your house?[/quote]

OP here, this feels more intrusive to me into her personal life and I doubt she’d agree to let me buy all her food. But sure, I could do this. [/quote]

OP, I think your instincts are right on this one. I've worked as a housekeeper and it would be way too intimate to have my employer looking at all my items!

I would just have a conversation. "We would like you to do this, would $400 make it worth your while in terms of increased cost/inconvenience. Are there problems with this proposal that we haven't foreseen?"[/quote]

+1. There's also the trust issue, as seen above -- some nannies will just take the extra money and use it for something else. If you treated your nanny as a member of the family, which she is, as she is raising your kids, then you would just talk to her like a trusted member of the family, and ask her what she thought about your concerns, and how she and you could work together to solve them. If money is the answer, then ask her how much she needs. Maybe $400 isn't enough.[/quote]
