I am sure some families do this, but not many.  With a live out nanny, it is more common, at least among the families I know and nannies I have interviewed, to offer the nanny access to your drinks and snacks (fruit, yogurt, chips if you keep them around, etc.) and ask that she bring her own lunch or lunch supplies.  Most nannnies leave their lunch fixings in a designated space in the fridge or mark their stuff with their initials.  Once your kids are eating solids, it becomes more common to invite the nanny to eat whatever she is preparing for them, but again, that is optional and depends to some extent on whether your nanny actually prepares meals or just reheats leftovers for the child/children.

I asked around about this not too long ago, and did not find one family who invites the nanny to add to the family's shopping list.  Nor did any nanny I interviewed communicate such an expectation.[/quote]

My employers allow me access to their online shopping cart, so I usually add whatever items I want each week (breakfast items, sandwich items, salads, and lunch/dinner entrées). Should I happen to forget to add items to the cart, or MB forgets to inform me, she'll just add in the usual. She has a pretty good handle on what I like, and is very generous in this regard (considering I'm a LO and I care for an infant). At any rate, I never take advantage of this perk. I'm just happy I have awesome and generous employers! :D[/quote]
