They should just keep extra “shawls”, clothes, etc at your house and also ask them to stock up on food that nanny can make for their kid in case they forget.

This just seems inefficient. The kids should have lunch together at whatever house they're at. If they're always at yours, it should have been negotiated beforehand. If you rotate, nobody should pack a lunch. As a pp said, that's the entire point of having a nanny.

The shawl gripe is really petty. If it's always at yours, you should hold some of their stuff, so they don't have to pack it. I'm sure you're stressing out the nanny, which is never a good thing.

It's common courtesy to pack everything your child needs and reply to nanny when she informed there is no food for the child.

I had a nanny for my own children. She made food for them and ensured they were dressed weather appropriately- that is literally what I’m paying for.

Right, completely never responded to the nanny. I can't imagine doing this to my child..

Maybe they packed it and rushed out the door and forgot it.

Lol and had no courtesy to reply to the nanny or order Uber eats? Completely ignored it. Shitty parents.
Expecting others to feed your child when everyone works is entitlement. Same goes when they host and we remember to pack for our child and have demanding jobs.

Least they should do is thank the family to feed their child. Next time will let the nanny figure it out.

No, the host parents should.

Okay, how about OP just not provide the food? Then no reason to be resentful, no reason for the other family to thank, the child goes hungry. Problem solved!

Good for you that you can watch a child be hungry, parents completely non responsive and nanny left to buy food for the hungry child who is licking toy food. Unfortunately I am not that person. I can hate the parents for being shitty and still feed their hungry child.

The parents probably forgot. How hard is it to feed a toddler? Be real. They aren't eating that much.

Frankly, the nanny should provide these things and hand their employer the receipt.
