[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have Very Long Days--you need to be realistic that your nanny needs a break at some point, especially if you expect her to prepare meals. I'm not big on screen time (I don't even own a TV but watch a few things on my MacBook at home) but will allow kids to watch a show while I make lunch (or dinner.) It makes for a nice and predictable transition and kids need and love predictability.

For food--hire a nanny who knows about nutrition to some degree. Ask in the interview for a few meal ideas that she would feed the kids--protein (PB, ham, turkey, eggs, cheese, yogurt etc) plus a carb or two (bread, tortilla, fruit, veg etc). Also, be realistic that at some point she might just want to give them a treat--go out for a donut or hot chocolate or something. Should that happen regularly? No, but will once or twice a month really be that bad? No.

Ultimately, find someone a bit older, and relax!! Just accept not everyone is going to do things exactly like you.[/quote]

Or look for someone anti-screen and anti-added sugar.  I promise, we exist; and we don’t have to resort to screens and take out when we do treats.[/quote]
