[quote=Anonymous]OP, there is no right or wrong on this.  You will find posters that say it's the "norm" to do one thing or another, but there is no "norm."  There is what you are comfortable with - there is only the service YOU are asking for and the compensation YOU are willing to provide for that service (free food all day is most definitely part of compensation).

Of the nanny moms I know, all of them say upfront that their nanny is welcome to help themselves to a snack or drink or eat what she is feeding the kids, and here is a place for you to put your lunch every day.  Nanny typically brings enough food for herself for the day and perhaps has some juice or a soda or eats a PB&J with the kids.  I had never heard of offering a live-out nanny free range of the kitchen, let alone adding things to a grocery list.  Not saying it's not done, but don't be convinced that is at all normal.

But either way, just be upfront when you are interviewing.  You can let her know that you are not including food as part of the deal and you expect her to bring her own, but that she is welcome to help herself to a drink or snack.  [/quote]
