[quote=Anonymous]Ooops...sorry for the mistake above...I accidentally hit ENTER.

Anyway, most of the families I work for actually tell me to "help myself" to whatever is in the freezer, fridge or pantry, etc. Sometimes I can tell by the way they tell me if they mean it or not. To be on the safe side, I usually bring my own food/drink, however if the family is very persuasive then I usually go ahead and help myself.

I think it benefits the parents to let me eat lunch w/their child(ren) because I like to eat chips/cookies, etc. and if I eat them in front of their child(ren), then their child(ren) will want some too and most parents want their child to only eat healthy which I totally understand. So if I prepare a healthy lunch for us and we eat together, it encourages the kiddos to eat healthy.

However, some parents may not be able to afford to provide meals for the nanny and I understand that as well.

Basically it is up to the discretion of the family.

Nannies keep in mind though that even though you are allowed to eat whatever you want, common sense dictates that you should never overindulge in something. I.e., eating a whole pint of ice cream, finishing off a gallon of milk, etc.[/quote]
