How to handle nanny?

[Anonymous]

I hired a nanny, whom I thought due to her years of experience would be a great fit for our family. I thought as a woman in her kid thirties she could be of better example then younger nannies. I don't think she has modeled her diet needs in an appropriate manner. My kids and my husband all eat organic and healthy foods. My nanny promotes the opposite. She will eat junk, and while she does bring her food to work, I never thought she Would be the type to bring junk around. I have gotten worried and recently had a talk about her diet needs. I don't think I am asking for a lot out of her but I do not want my kids picking up her junk food habits. I teach my kids to share and b courteous, I'm afraid they might want to tell nanny to share her food too. I don't want her not modeling good habits for my kids. Youngest years are crucial for learning and I want to eat good because they like it and not because its there. It would truly bother me if she was giving them junk behind my back. We compost and recycle. I can't say she does. I feel if things don't change then maybe I might need to let her know if she cares about the kids, she will do what's best and encourage composting recycling and not using plastic. We are teaching our kids this and want her to help encourage the while she is with us. Is this too much to ask?

Typing from the iPad is not the easiest thing in the world when you're multitasking. I'm looking for serious answerers not mockery. Thank you!

Could it be? A MB and nanny posting without knowing the other has ? LOL. Can't wait to see how this turns out

In an effort to treat your post seriously (although given the huge coincidence of you and your nanny posting here in the same time-frame...)

OP, you have every right to ask your nanny to model healthy eating habits at your home . You should speak to your nanny and offer to pay for her to eat the foods YOU prefer she eat, and ask her to refrain from bringing junk food to work.

You also have the right to ask nanny to follow your family habits regarding recycling, etc. Show her what you do, and ask her to do the same at YOUR house.

You have no right whatsoever to ask nanny to change the habits she has during her personal time. If your nanny chooses to eat cheetos and bologna out of toss away plastic containers at her house that's her choice.

P.S. If this is a MB/Nanny posting collision, I'm going to make some popcorn, 'cause this is going to be GOOD!

Yes by all means, you have every right to ask your new nanny not to bring junk food into your home!! How dare the little witch bring Nutter Butter cookies and Salt & Vinegar chips into your home? And even worse?? How dare the bitch munch on them in front of you and your kids!!!! She is a horrible role model for your kids and should be fired on the spot!!! Remember this is YOUR home!! You have every right to dictate what she does while in your home. I cannot believe she actually buys plastic! I thought plastic bottles were so 2011. Many cities in the West have banned plastic shopping bags already and it is only a matter of time before they ban plastic bottles as well. I mean, seriously. Only 7 percent of plastic can effectively be recycled. SEVEN PERCENT people!! The rest just clogs up our landfills. I bet this nanny also uses disposable sanitary napkins which also clog up our landfills. She should use cloth sanitary napkins or make her own.

We have to save our planet Mother Earth.
If everyone continues to eat processed/fast foods, throw their orange peels in the trash as opposed to compost and also buy products that contain petroleum, then all of your descendants will ultimately be paying the price in years to come. Lucky you, you will be gone....but your offspring and their offspring will have to live w/your messes.

Stop the insanity now!!!!

* Hug a tree. Today.
* Stop smoking. Cigarette butts are bio-degradable.
* Use wooden or wire hangers over plastic.
* Instead of using Vaseline to soften your skin, use Chapstick or Burt's Bees, etc.
* Do not use Avon products. They animal test.
* Stop shopping at Wal-mart. Support small business.

I hope you find a new nanny soon. Not only is this nanny wrecking her own body (her choice!) by eating processed junk food, she is also wrecking havoc by purchasing plastic containers that will eventually kill our Mother Earth. SmartWater is the worst, those bottles are huge mothers.

Jesus, I can't tell if the above poster is joking or not! It's great if you like to eat nuts, but being one is another story.
