[quote=Anonymous]OP, find me a post where an MB said that she told her nanny not to touch her food under any circumstance.

Here's how I see it and I imagine many parents are similar. Our family is really busy. If I employ my nanny from say 8am to 6pm, I'm out of the house for a huge chunk of the day. I already have trouble keeping up with grocery shopping just for us. I eat out with relative frequency and sometimes there are days when I don't have much in the house at all. I have a nanny because it gives me and my kids some extra time and sanity. It is to make my life easier essentially.

So grocery shopping for my nanny, making sure she has something for lunch every day, making sure I have her favorite snacks every day. The other OP made it sound like a hot lunch needed to be available. All this adds up to NOT making my life easier. Indeed, adding additional stress. What if my nanny shows up for work without any food and I haven't had time to grocery shop??

She's welcome to eat whatever she finds, but you see, providing her food of choice takes it to a whole other level. And it does cost a not insignificant amount of money to feed someone 5 days a week for 9 hours.  You'd better believe that if I was providing that as a perk, it would be factored into her compensation somewhere or at the very least I would be expecting a higher quality of care than I would from a similarly paid nanny who I wasn't having to worry about feeding.
