[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nanny takes my 3 kids out to lunch (usually Panera) once a week and thats like 45 bucks.  That alone is 2340.00 a year. I don't know if you're really being realistic to be honest. [/quote]

What's she buying?  When we go to Panera, we split a select two and get water.  [/quote]

My 2 younger ones get a kid Mac and cheese and an apple and chips.  Juice box comes with it I think. My oldest one gets a pick two.  The nanny usually gets a full salad.  They sometimes get one smoothie and 4 small cups.  Other times they add 2 cookies to share.  I don't believe the majority of people who employee a full time nanny go to Panera and share ONE meal and get water.  [b]Maybe they want their NANNY to do that but I doubt thats how they act.[/b] [/quote]

This is really the core issue.  People like OP want their nanny to do as them without any resources.  I think people really are skimming the top of their budget with the nanny salary alone so they really skimp on the things that actually make it a positive working environment and fun experience for your child/children.  The people who I know that have long time nannies let their nanny assimilate into their standard of life when on the clock.  [/quote]

But do you think it's anyone's standard of life to go to Starbucks every time on the way to the playground? For a 1- and 3-year old?[/quote]
