[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah sorry OP, but there really isn't a way to bring it up that won't be awkward.  Is she young?  If so, she probably doesn't understand how much feeding a family costs and the inconvenience of running out of food unexpectedly.  
Your not being unreasonable, but there isn't a a great way to approach it. Maybe as a compromise you could offer to pick up a few things for her (cereal, sandwich fixings, fruit...) and say "that way we don't have any mix ups for what DH and I want to keep around for our work lunches / dinner"  Then at least she probably wouldn't eat any of the other stuff.[/quote]
OP didn't say whether or not the nanny was young- regardless, how young could she be? If she's there's 9 to 5 she must be at least 18 (or this is very illegal). She knows that food costs money.

OP what's your financial situation that you can afford to employ a 9-5 nanny but not a few extra loaves of bread or eggs? If she was eating a strip steak you saved for dinner okay, but pasta? Really? At a lot of other jobs there's a lounge where coffee and fruit are available for free. [/quote]
