Playdate snack

[Anonymous]

Do I need to offer a snack for playdate from 10-11:15?

How on earth would we know? We don't know if the snacks at your house are better than the snacks at the visitors house. We don't know what time the child ets breakfast.

No. That's a very short visit

Yes. Always be polite and offer at least some crackers and water or milk.

OP here: kids are 2 and 4. I'm the nanny so any food I would offer would be my employer's.

There would be 3 children and 2 adults.

At 2 & 4, parents/nannies typically pack the child's own sippy cup. I would offer a drink at best, it's only a hour. And this has nothing to do with being impolite, snack time cuts into their short playtime.

If it is not your food/money issue, then why not offer a small plate of crackers, fruit, veggies, cheese, etc. It doesn't have to be big.

That's a ton for a snack so close to lunch! Unless you're offering for OP to pick one of those things.
OP, I'd ask your MB and/or the other mom/nanny. If the kids eat an early lunch (11.30ish) they won't need a snack during that time. And it will become more of a snack playdate vs a playing playdate

Because as you said it, it's not my food. The most I could offer is a piece of fruit and even this would be a stretch for 4 people.

That is basic snack food most people keep in the house for those age kids. Really, it isn't that hard to pull out some crackers You always offer. Its ok for someone to decline.
